Mining for a sacred lode
Drilling into untouched stone
The world has done enough to me
The horror now I'll never seeGot to fight off grizzly bears
Got to eat, so I grab a few hares
Got to struggle to survive
That's the reason I'm aliveI know I left you hurting
Disappeared with no goodbyes
But I heard the snow cats calling
I'm alright, baby please don't cryIf the guy is right for you
He doesn't live on bear cat stew
I'll live without you alright
I figured you was not sleeping at nightGot to fight off grizzly bears
Got to eat, so I grab a few hares
Got to struggle to survive
That's the reason I'm aliveThe animals were my first real friends
They'll protect me till the end
Where the people lived was filled of lies
And the truth has no disguiseI know I left you hurting
Disappeared with no goodbyes
But I heard the snow cats calling
I'm alright, baby please don't cryIf the guy is right for you
He doesn't live on bear cat stew
I'll live without you alright
I figured you was not sleeping at nightI'm a mountain man
Rip that fucker right off, I feel fine
This is a mountain man
'Cause I'm a mountain man
