I'm a modern man with a mountain heart
Windin' my way back to the start
Runnin' from the city lights and lookin' to see some stars
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Salmon river with a whisper speak
Of sunlit snow on a lonesome peak
Tell of distant thunder and the first thaw of the year
When I hear you murmurin' my mind starts runnin' clear
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Windin' my way back to the start
Runnin' from the city lights and lookin' to see some stars
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Rain on the Rockies where the river's young
One more journey just begun
Fill up my senses with that ancient view
Fire on bone (fire on bone), knife on stone
Hummin' a timeless tune
Drippin' branches in a swirlin' fog
A sapling grows from a hollow log
Where the big bear and the lions still can find the room to roam
Maybe I can shed my suit and tie and finally feel at home
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Windin' my way back to the start
Runnin' from city lights and lookin' to see some stars
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Just a modern man
