Mountain Man Lyrics - Dinosaur Jr.

Mining for a sacred lode 

Drilling into untouched stone 

The world has done enough to me 

The horror now I'll never see 

Got to fight off grizzly bears 

Got to eat, so I grab a few hares 

Got to struggle to survive 

That's the reason I'm alive 

I know I left you hurting 

Disappeared with no goodbyes 

But I heard the snow cats calling 

I'm alright, baby please don't cry 

If the guy is right for you 

He doesn't live on bear cat stew 

I'll live without you alright 

I figured you was not sleeping at night 

Got to fight off grizzly bears 

Got to eat, so I grab a few hares 

Got to struggle to survive 

That's the reason I'm alive 

The animals were my first real friends 

They'll protect me till the end 

Where the people lived was filled of lies 

And the truth has no disguise 

I know I left you hurting 

Disappeared with no goodbyes 

But I heard the snow cats calling 

I'm alright, baby please don't cry 

If the guy is right for you 

He doesn't live on bear cat stew 

I'll live without you alright 

I figured you was not sleeping at night 

I'm a mountain man 

Rip that fucker right off, I feel fine 

This is a mountain man 

'Cause I'm a mountain man
