Way up on the mountain in the sweet southern air
Is where I seem to lose the loads I have to bear
Silence of the snow fall and the peacefulness around
I feel so blessed with all that I have found
Feel so blessed with all that I have found

Lookin' up a trail for a sign as I travel there
A liquor still, an old deer trail, or the home of the old big bear
Wouldn't wanna mess with him because it's his home
He's like me he's better left alone
He's like me he's better left alone

Fishin' in the river at the bottom of these hills
Helps me find my peace of mind in all these natural thrills
These mountains were the first to show their face up to the sky
Lay me to rest here when I die
Lay me to rest here when I die
