Mining for a sacred lode

Drilling into untouched stone

The world has done enough to me

The horror now i'll never see



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



I know i left you hurting

Disappeared with no goodbyes

But i heard the snowcats 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 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

That's the reason i'm alive



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



I know i left you hurting

Disappeared with no goodbyes

But i heard the snowcats 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 was not sleeping at night



I'm a mountain man

Rip that fucker right off, i feel fine

This is a mountain man



'cause i'm a mountain man
