Lyrics
I’ll do anything to live by this mountainside,
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 mountainside,
You can't tear me away from this rocky 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 mountainside,
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 mountainside,
You can't tear me away from this rocky uprise.
**FIDDLE BREAK**
I’ll do anything to live by this mountainside,
You can't tear me away from this rocky uprise.
I wrote this song about the jobs I've taken, the weather I've braved, and the fun I've had living in the mountains.
