lyrics

This Mountain©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI

I climbed up this mountain
It really ain’t that high
Still if I fell off now
I’d probably die
Ain’t no gold on this mountain
Just rocks so damn old
Saw the Pterodactyls fly
Saw the world when it was young

When I climbed up this mountain
I really didn’t think it through
It’s cold on this mountain
Up here without you
I climbed up this hill
Thought I might touch the sky
But the sky was too high
And the air hurts my lungs

I climbed up this mountain
With a full head of steam
Searching for something
Was only a dream
There’s nothing on this hill
But a clear view of my folly
Think I’ll climb back down head into town
Before the bars are closed

I guess climbing up mountains
Is for men who are stronger
I was strong long ago
But I’m not any longer
Now climbing up this bar stool’s
About the best I can do
Just sipping on a whiskey
Remembering the view

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…

in the company of his music, leaving the city with a bad car and a good pair of boots, a few sweet cigarettes and with the right pair of eyes, you see the sunlight on the mountains, and you think they are the same as someone else around for the world sees in his day of freedom TIASO

Trouble of this World
by Uncle Sinner

supported by 4 fans who also own “This Mountain”

This album grows on me more and more with each listen. Bodner's approach to taking traditional music and reworking it and weaving it into his own personal narrative is amazing. On Into Grace, his own narrative is in the forefront. mad_wanderer
