RIFF----------------------------------------
Her daddy lost most everything
On horses, whiskey, and wedding rings
A little work and luck my friend
A--------------------------G--------------------------D
I'm gonna buy that mountain back again
California to Tennessee
Fortune has not yet found me
Empty hands and leather skin
Won't buy that mountain back again
G--------------------------------------------
Endless nights, Longer roadsNone of which have yet led homeG-----------------------------------------------RIFF 1X
C'mon darlin keep your promise trueG-------------------------------------------------
Another drink, Another jobAnd then it's home to you my loveG-----------------------------------------------
Gonna buy that mountain back for youRIFF 2XBack for you...A-------------------G----------------------------DCause if I don't you're an awful lot to lose
When my home again I see
Gonna buy that mountain for you and me
Uphill I'll make the rivers climb
You can swim with the stars in the fading light
Sleep by the river on that mountain high
Endless nights, Longer roads
None of which have yet led home
C'mon darlin keep your promise true
Another drink, Another job
Then it's home to you my love
Gonna buy that mountain back for you
Back for you...
Cause if I don't it's an awful lot
If I don't it's an awful lot
If I don't you're an awful lot to lose
Gonna buy that mountain back for you
Work these roads until I do
