Mountainside Lyrics


Aw, aw, awHave you seen my worn out walking hat?
If by chance you've seen it, won't you tell me where it's at
It's not some gentleman's derby, not an engineer's lid
It ain't that old cotton cap I used to wear 'round as a kid
Used to wear around as a kidAnd I say, aw, aw, awSee, I'm in need of one with a comfortable fit
And I've got good intentions to take damn good care of it
Yeah, when I find it I'm gonna put it on my head
And it might be tough to sleep it, but I'll even wear it on to bed
I'll even where it in the bedAnd I gotta say, aw, aw, awWay up on a mountainside
Is where I go so I can hide away
With my mandolin and my favorite hat
The mean old world can kiss my ass todayAnd I say, aw, aw, awWell, it's been too many Sundays since I took the time to laugh
And I'd take a small vacation if I could save up the cash
If I could find that damned old walking hat
I'd put it on right now 'cause it's got the kind of style and fit
To turn my head around, make me turn my head aroundAnd I wanna say, aw, aw, awI want to get way up on a mountainside
Where I go so I can hide away
With my mandolin and my favorite hat

The mean old world can kiss my ass todayI want to get way up on a mountainside
Where I go so I can hide away
With my mandolin and my favorite hat
The mean old world can kiss my ass todayAnd I say, aw, aw

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bonepony is an American rock band, formed in the late 1980s by Scott Johnson and Bryan Ward in the Baltimore, MD area. By all accounts Bonepony began as a hard rock band, similar in style to Aerosmith. The band recorded a demo and toured sporadically. During the early 1990s, Bryan and Scott moved to Nashville, Tennessee and left their fellow bandmates behind. In Nashville, the two met Kenny Mims, and the three of them created a new sound for the band, mixing the acoustic power of Led Zeppelin III with similarly styled folk, bluegrass, and country influences.

In 1994 the band was signed to Capitol Records and released an album entitled Stomp Revival in Mid 1995. The band toured with some major acts during 1995-1996, including Bob Seger and Santana. During these touring years the band also featured Jason Dunaway on bass and Mickey Grimm on drums. During early 1996, Kenny Mims left the band and was replaced by former Walk The West fiddle/mandolin player Tramp. The band's relationship with Capitol soured and they split with the label, releasing their second album, "Traveler's Companion" on their own SuperDuperRecordings imprint. Sometime in late 1996, Jason and Mickey left the band, yet Johnson, Ward and Tramp soldiered on as a three piece. Traveler's Companion continued with their brand of self-described "Power Folk" music and featured a guest vocal appearance by fellow alt-country pioneer Lucinda Williams. In mid-1999 Bryan Ward exited the fold and the band recruited Nick Nguyen to handle guitar duties. Bonepony continued to tour the US and Canada with a break-neck schedule of 200 plus dates a year.

Bonepony's current lineup, Scott Johnson, Nicolas Nguyen, and Kenny Wright is responsible for the bands fourth studio CD, Feeling It. The effort pulls the Bonepony sound more towards the electric rock bands of the seventies, while still managing to stomp their way through rural tracks like "Lonely" and "Farewell". Bonepony is currently on tour in support of their live concert DVD Celebration Highway. Filmed at the Belcourt Theater in Nashville, the release captures the band's energetic live show and feature songs from all of their studio releases as well as unreleased songs seldom performed live. Guest musicians Mickey Grimm, Jason Dunaway and Chris Carmichael make Celebration Highway a memorable Bonepony show.
