THERE'D BE NOTHING TO IT, THAT'S WHAT HE THOUGHT
NOT A THING LEFT TO LOSE WAS ALL THAT IT COST
IT WOULD BE EASY, THEN HE'D GET AWAY
TAKE ANOTHER MAN'S MONEY AND RUN
IT WAS WRONG , BUT, IT WOULD BE FUN
NOTHING IN HIS WAY BUT THE SUN
'TIL THE MOUNTAIN
(CHORUS)
IT WAS BIG AND WIDE AND TOO HARD TO CLIMB
NO WAY AROUND IT, IT WAS TOO HIGH
NO RIVER THROUGH IT, NO DETOUR IN SIGHT
THIS THING THAT JUST WON'T LET HIM BY
THE MOUNTAIN

HIS MOMMA, SHE TAUGHT HIM RIGHT FROM WRONG
'CAUSE SHE WAS HIS ANGEL 'TIL SHE PASSED ON
THEN HE KIND OF LOST IT, 'TIL HE LOST IT ALL
AND, NOW HE JUST SITS ON THE SIDE
AS ALL THE TRAFFIC PASSES HIM BY
'CAUSE NONE OF THEM SEE WHAT'S IN HIS EYES
THE MOUNTAIN
(BRIDGE)
MAYBE LOVE NEVER DIES
IT STAYS BEHIND WHEN YOU GO
TO JUST LIVE ON, AND HELP A LOST SOUL DOWN THE ROAD
I DON'T KNOW
