J Mascis - Mountain Man lyrics

[Verse 1] Mining for a sacred lode Drilling into untouched stone The world has done enough to me The horror now I'll never see [Pre-Chorus] Got to fight off grizzly bears Got to eat, so I grab a few hares Got to struggle to survive That's the reason I'm alive [Chorus] I know I left you hurting Disappeared with no goodbyes But I heard the snow cats calling I'm alright, baby please don't cry If the guy is right for you He doesn't live on bear cat stew I'll live without you alright I figured you were not sleeping at night [Pre-Chorus] [Verse 2] The animals were my first real friends They'll protect me 'til the end Where the people lived was filled of lies And the truth has no disguise [Chorus] [Verse 3] I'm a mountain man Rip that f**er right off, I feel fine This is a mountain man [Outro] Cause I'm a mountain man
