Mountaineer

There's gotta be a place bigger than this
Sheetrock strong enough to catch my fist
Maybe a drink that still burns my tongue
Anywhere's good I ain't yet run from

I'm just tired
Lord let me be
Look high but you won't find a man lower than me
If I could reach up and find the ground
I can rest my head on the mountain now
Any reason to hang around

I lost my brother on a foreign shore
Rationed my wages at the company store
Spent most my days staring at the floor
My bones will break, I'll ask for more

These scars stuck around long after the pain
Like the old swing tire collects the rain
Don't need to know the time of day
The dark never bothered me anyway

I'm just tired
Lord let me be
Look high but you won't find a man lower than me
If I could reach up and find the ground
I can rest my head on the mountain now
Any reason to hang around

And the skeletons chatter like drunken old friends
Rattling back to the place they've been
Some day soon I'll join the crowd
But I don't feel much like talking now
I don't feel much like talking now

I'm just tired
Lord let me be
Look high but you won't find a man lower than me
If I could reach up and find the ground
I can rest my head on the mountain now
Any reason to hang around
Any reason to hang around
Any reason to hang around
