Mountain Man Lyrics

Dinosaur Jr.

Mining for a sacred lode
Drilling into untouched stone
The world has done enough to me
The horror now Ill never see
Got to fight off grizzly bears
Got to eat, so I grab a few hares
Got to struggle to survive
Thats the reason Im alive
I know I left you hurting
Disappeared with no goodbyes
But I heard the snowcats calling
Im alright, baby please dont cry
If the guy is right for you
He doesnt live on bear cat stew
Ill 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
Thats the reason Im alive
The animals were my first real friends
Theyll 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
Im alright, baby please dont cry
If the guy is right for you
He doesnt live on bear cat stew
Ill live without you alright
I figured you was not sleeping at night
Im a mountain man
Rip that fucker right off, I feel fine
This is a mountain man
cause Im a mountain man
