margo price - been to the mountain lyrics

[verse 1]
i got nothin’ to prove, i’ve got nothin’ to sell
i’m not buyin’ what you’ve got, i ain’t ringin’ no bells
i got a mint in my pocket, got a bullet in my t++th
i’m goin’ straight in the fire, i’m gonna talk to the high priest
used to be a lover, queen, and a drifter
a cowboy devil, a bride in a box and
a pilgrim and a thief, but it was me underneath
i just know who i’m not and that’s alright with me
alright, alright
[chorus]
can’t tell me nothin’, babe, and that’s a fact
i have been to the mountain and back
oh, yeah

[verse 2]
well, i wish i was god, but i’m glad that i’m not
’cause i think too much, got my head in a knot
the world’s on fire, better save your brother
i’ve been a child and i’ve been a mother
i’ve been a victim and i’ve been a tumor
usеd to be a waitress, but now i’m a consumer
i’vе been on food stamps, i’ve been out of my mind
i rolled in dirty dollars, stood in the welfare line

[chorus]
i’ve been a number, i’ve under attack
i have been to the mountain and back
alright, alright

[verse 3]
i’ve been a dancer, a saint, an assassin
i’ve been a n0body, a truck+driver shaman
so many seasons that i’ve been adrift
sometimes, i’ve wondered if i even exist
[interlude]
do you ever walk down the street and do you think to yourself
am i being watched, man? am i on the list?
well, i’ve been called every name in the book, honey
go on, take your best shot
take your best shot, take your best shot
and i got my back to the gun you aim at my heart
go on, take your best shot now

[verse 4]
i am the hunter and i am the hunted
i am a baby unwanted
i’m an alchemist teacher, i’m a sinner, i’m a preacher

[bridge]
and i know that there’s out more here than this
as i stand in the void of the black mountain vacuum
i know the scent of death like a perfume
no, this ain’t the end, this ain’t the end
this ain’t the end, this ain’t the end
oh, take off your tired eyes
undress your goodbyes ’cause

[refrain]
i have been to the mountain
i have been to the mountain
i have been to the mountain
i have been to the mountain and back
alright, alright
[chorus]
can’t tell me nothin’, babe, and that’s a fact
i have been to the mountain and back
alright
alright
alright
