Mountain boy Pickin' up rocks a puttin' 'em in the wagon The sun goes down my poor feet a draggin' Mountain boy
Now I wish I own ten acres down in the valley instead of these rocks on this hill Cause they grow some tall corn down in the valley and my land seems just won't till You know my mountain girl went down in the valley I guess about a year ago And married a valley farmer cause he had a lotta hail And in a way I guess it's better I didn't have anything but love to offer No I don't guess I can blame her cause life in the valley is a whole lot softer But for a while I thought this pain in my heart was gonna get the best of me But I just kinda go away now and I just worry about the rest of me And I'll bet there's a lotta men just like me That on mountain ground where the winter wind's cold And spendin' their entire life looking down Just two miles from something they'll never hold
