Mountian Man
I got a girl, yeah she makes me high.
She's one mean mamma, she made me one mean guy.
Caught her one day being cold and mean.
She left me for a man with a farm machine.
He said ""My name's Sam, I got news for you.""
""I'm stealing your woman and I'm killing you too""
I was quick at the draw but he was out the door.
I chased 'em like a bull at a matador.
Oh! I was gonna get that boy,
And make him pay for what he done!
Oh! I got him cornered
And he turned around and said.
""My names Sam and I don't give a damn.""
""Play your hand and catch me if you can.""
He drove his tractor into the sea,
To rust and live a promise of dignity.
Songs we sung about his journey wide
Made me yearn for a place I could hang my pride.
I walked up rivers, creeks and mountain streams.
I saw vistas of beauty that I'd never dreamed.
Walked through thorns and the rain and snow,
When I got to the top I looked down below.
Yeah! I shed my skin that day
And I'm only getting tougher.
I screamed at the top of my lungs
As if to say.
""See the land, I hold it in my hand.""
""Here I am, now I'm a mountain man.""
In my cradle I will stay like an eagle I will saw,
With A knife In my hand and my back to the wall.
Gonna keep my eye out for Tractor Sam.
I wanna watch him squirm while I gut the man.
And I promise you 'till the day I die,
I'm a mean mother fucker and I still feel high.
I can step on any who will fuck with me.
This is what it means to be free!
Yeah! I'm never gonna feel down.
Come and join me In the clouds.
Yeah! You hear the screams so loud!
""This is what it means to stay your hand.""
""Come with me, we're going on the lam""
""Here I am, now I'm a mountain man""
""HERE I AM, NOW I'M A MOUNTAIN... MAN!!!""
