Lookin’ for a Mountain Songtext
von Hank Williams III

Runnin′ (runnin') for the mountains
Yeah I got a heavy load thats been hauntin′ my day
Fightin' my own demons
Seems like its gettin' a lot harder these days
But I′m doin′ what I can runnin' from my crazy ways
Tattooed and branded, shootin′ down fame, doin' it my own way

Livin′ like an outlaw
Lovin' all the pain and the hard times comin′ my way
No I'm not losin' myself to the changin′ ways of today
Busted and held for ransom
Yeah I′ve done my time gettin' beat by the man
Driftin′ stoned and lonesome


Yeah I know how to get by the best that I can
Yeah I'm lookin′ for a mountain to wash my dirty hands
Yeah I'm lookin′ for a mountain that I wanna call home
Yeah I'm lookin' for a mountain, a place to rest my bones
And I just wanna breath that mountain air until I′m gone
Ya and I just wanna breath that mountain air until I′m gone

Runnin' (runnin′) on empty
I been speedin' so hard my eyes are turnin′ gray
Feelin' mean and shaky
From all the hellraisin′ that I've done for today
Now I'm headin′ down south tryin′ to find a better way
Yeah I'm lookin′ for a mountain that I wanna call home
Yeah I'm lookin′ for a mountain, a place to rest my bones

Yeah I know I been ridin' high
That made mama cry cause I been busted my whole damn life
Yeah I know I been ridin′ high
That made mama cry cause I been busted my whole damn life
But I been busted my whole damn life
Ya I been busted my whole damn life
WelI I been busted my whole damn life
Well I been busted... yeah I know how to run
I know how to survive ...
