First Time in Years

I'm going to the river

To see the water flow

It's coming down off the mountain

To the ocean it will go

I'm going to the country

To see that girl of mine

She's coming down off the mountain

The mountain way up high

And I'm feeling pretty good

Despite all the tears

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good

For the first time in years

I'm going into town

To get myself a drink

I'm coming down off the mountain

To have myself a think

I've been working all winter

I've been working on the fence

And the borders I'm creating

Never making any sense

Yeah, but I'm feeling pretty good

Despite all my fears

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good

For the first time in years

I'm sitting in the kitchen

With the radio low

I'm high up on the mountain

Looking down below

Yeah, I'm looking out my window

At all the passers by

And it's five below zero

Right here in my mind

Yeah, but I'm feeling pretty good

Despite all the tears

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good

For the first time in years

Yeah, but I'm feeling pretty good

Despite all my fears

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good

For the first time in years
