Mountain Climbing

I'm just a poor man working day by day

Life's been a struggle, there's a mountain in my way

So strap your boots on, get ready for that first step

The uphill battle that I ain't even started yet

Chance is you find me

Out in the fields

Pounding my hammer

'Tween stone and steel

Done my fair share of

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, it's troubles, I got 'em

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, it's blues at the bottom

Ain't no map to follow, just follow your own path

Get close to the edge and there's no turning back

The wind and the rain gonna push you around

Hard times trying to break you, don't ever let 'em back you down

Chance is you'll find me

Rocking away in the fields

Pounding my hammer

On the stone and steel

Done my fair share of

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, it's troubles, I got 'em

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, blues at the bottom

Blood on my hands and there's holes in my jeans

You scrub all day but you never get them clean

The hard rock bottom, there ain't nothing down there but the blues

The top of the mountain, you still gotta pay your dues

Chance is you'll find me

Out in the fields

Pounding my hammer

On the stone and steel

Done my fair share of

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, troubles, I got 'em

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, blues at the bottom

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, these troubles, I got 'em

Mountain climbing

Mountain climbing

Whoa, there's blues at the bottom
