Tim Higgins - The Mountain

You take a dirt road to get here
And the one after that if you ever want to get here alive
If you care to stand
By my side
Then you gotta take that drive from time to time
Don’t be scared of the mountain lions
Don’t be bothered by the locusts
They’re just crying
Don’t worry about some freak landslide
This mountain has been here
A good, long time
My daddy, my brothers, my uncle
We’re all raised just the same
They say blood is thicker than water
People in this town would rather see us drained
The fog falls down
Below this icy spring
I’ll carry the water
Wait ‘til you get a taste of everything
Don’t fuss about supper
I got it simmering
Don’t be rattled by the tires
They’re just spinning
Don’t worry about what you shoot
We’ll figure out something to down with ‘em
This mountain’s got a lot of warm, warm blood
Left inside of him
