Mining for a sacred lode Drilling into untouched stone The world has done enough to me The horror now Ill never see Got to fight off grizzly bears Got to eat, so I grab a few hares Got to struggle to survive Thats the reason Im alive I know I left you hurting Disappeared with no goodbyes But I heard the snowcats calling Im alright, baby please dont cry If the guy is right for you He doesnt live on bear cat stew Ill live without you alright I figured you was not sleeping at night Got to fight off grizzly bears Got to eat, so I grab a few hares Got to struggle to survive Thats the reason Im alive The animals were my first real friends Theyll protect me til the end Where the people lived was filled of lies And the truth has no disguise I know I left you hurting Disappeared with no goodbyes But I heard the snowcats calling Im alright, baby please dont cry If the guy is right for you He doesnt live on bear cat stew Ill live without you alright I figured you was not sleeping at night Im a mountain man Rip that fucker right off, I feel fine This is a mountain man cause Im a mountain man
