Mountain Man

It was a beautiful sunny morning

So we went for a drive

Hiked up into the mountains

And we lost track of time

Kissin' and huggin'

Never saw the sun go down

I said, "Baby we're lost"

And she proceeded to freak out, so I said

"Baby, baby don't panic

I know how to cook bannock

I can build you a fire

I know you're tired

Ain't this romantic?"

And that coyote howls

And the grizzly bear, he growls

I can get you through the night

Oh yes, I can, I'm a mountain man"

I gave her a little hug

I said, "There's no need to cry

I used to be a beaver scout

All I need is this Buck knife

I can carve a hook, pull fish from a brook

And I bang on with a gun

Except tonight I don't really have one

And well, that's half the fun

Aw, you know I'm only kiddin' hon'"

Baby, baby don't panic

I know how to cook bannock

I can build you a fire

I know you're tired

Ain't this romantic?

I know you're a city girl

But if you had to you could eat a squirrel

Yeah, I'd cook him up just right

You know I can, I'm a mountain man

We could pick berries in the moonlight

'Cause I know which ones to eat

How to recognize poison ivy

Should you go lookin' for leaves

Baby, baby, don't panic

I know how to cook bannock

I can build you a fire

I know you're tired

Ain't this romantic?

I can bugle an elk, I can rattle a deer

I can grow you a big ol' bushy beard

And live up here all year and never go back

Yeah, I'm a mountain man

A man with a plan

You're in good hands

Yeah, I'm your mountain man

Aw, don't cry honey

It's all gonna be alright
