Mountain Man

Through the mist Upon this mountain Home to a man so long ago Living through seasons Ranging warm to cold Been here as many years As he is old The most experienced mountain man He was once told This place is beginning To finally take hold Yet where would he move This is all he has ever known All his life He has been on his own The city he Has yet to be shown Desire for change Tired of the life on the range His life is like songs And picture shows made Little does anyone know The prices he has paid Never been with a woman Seen only one Yet always he has wanted To raise his own son Now leaving this place Change he shall chase Glorified is the life Of the mountain man Few have ever known The roughness of the land To the south To the north Maybe west maybe east Dreams made through the years Shall finally be at peace Leave and never Ever look back Finally he is done Finally he is packed
