Lyrics
Once there was a running man
Who headed west to a wilder land
Somewhere the law couldn't go
Up on the mountain
Well he learned fast the devil runs
Through the hills when winter comes
The trees are bent under the weight
Up on the mountain
The mountain
Ain't made for a city man's boot
The mountain
Will have you longing for a noose
He woke one night to a crash
Soon had a cougar in his lap
They wrestled and he stabbed it dead
Up on the mountain
The timberwolves killed his mare
The wolverines robbed his snares
His tack and meat were running low
Up on the mountain
The mountain
Ain't made for a city man's boot
The mountain
Will have you longing for the noose
His toes began turning blue
He didn't know what to do
He couldn't go back he had to stay
Up on the mountain
Somehow he survived till spring
By eating bark and vulture wings
He was looking mighty thin
Up on the mountain
The mountain
Ain't made for a city man's boot
The mountain
Will have you longing for the noose
He fetching water from the stream
When he looked up and saw the steam
Coming from a grizzly's nose
Up on the mountain
The ice had frozen up his gun
There was no point to run
That sow hit him like a train
Up on the mountain
