I'll do anything to live by this mountain side
You can't tear me away from this rocky uprise
Washing dishes early
Making bread before sunrise
Skinning bucks and tanning hides
Cleaning coffee grinds
I'll pick those saskatoons or thistles by and by
If its almost fully legal and I'll likely stay alive
I'll do anything to live by this mountain G side
You can't tear me away from this rocky G uprise
Offer me a dollar or a meal once in a while
I will smile at all the tourists listen to their yarns
I will be their mule and leader feign interest in their charm
I'll drink with them till midnight be up before the dawn
I'll do anything to live by this mountain side
You can't tear me away from this rocky uprise
If I am to leave them I'm uneasy I'm unwell
Need to know the grizzly gossip watch the elk and hear 'em yell
It's rough here in the winter you know that that's alright
When it's snowing darling that's when I'm most alive
I'll do anything to live by this mountain side
You can't tear me away from this rocky uprise
Fiddle break
I'll do anything to live by this mountain side
You can't tear me away from this rocky uprise
