used to be a mountain lyrics
[verse 1]
if you’re thumbin’ down a dog+town road
with your tongue back, draggin’ ass
hotter than a train track, harlan up to middlesboro
with your coal seam, jimson weed, wildcat
wind speed, big sandy to the big o
on an overdrive mainline, try to clear kentucky alive
my, my, such a lost tribe
[pre+chorus]
don’t you know?
don’t you know?
don’t you know?
don’t you know? you know, you know
[chorus]
there used to be a mountain here
there used to be a river so clear, we could swim to the bottom
there was heart, there was soul, but i guess that we forgot ’em
’cause there ain’t nothin’ standin’ out the window but a sign on a slag pile
it says, it said there used to be a mountain here
[verse 2]
if you’re thumbin’ down a drag+mine road
and your quickset toothache needs a little opiate
lookin’ for a pot a+gold
with a go+devil, honda rebel, oxycontin coal shovel
climb on up the tipple and go
straight to a gunnysack, polecat
mitch’ll have a heart attack, you know
[pre+chorus]
don’t you know?
don’t you know?
don’t you know?
don’t you know? you know, you know
[chorus]
there used to be a mountain here
there used to be a river so clear, we could swim to the bottom
there was heart, there was soul, but i guess that we forgot ’em
’cause there ain’t nothin’ standin’ out the window but a sign on a slag pile
it says, it said there used to be a mountain here
[bridge]
there used to be a house on the edge of town
there used to be a job and a roller rink
church on sunday, passin’ the plate around
there used to be a river full of catfish
we’d catch just to let ’em go
ah, we used to let it flow
but now we’ve let ourselves go, hey!
[verse 3]
so, if you’re thumbin’ down a coal town road
and you’re all jacked, smoke+stacked, suckin’ on a thumbtack
swingin’ at the end of your rope
from a shoelace, total waste, sign your whole life away
don’t forget the debt that you’re owed
from the fat cats, race rats, big pharma, tall stacks
they’re the ones a+diggin’ the hole
all the way down to guangzhou
[pre+chorus]
don’t you know?
don’t you know?
don’t you know?
don’t you know? you know, you know
[chorus]
there used to be a mountain here
there used to be a river so clear, we could swim to the bottom
there was heart, there was soul, but i guess that we forgot ’em
’cause there ain’t nothin’ standin’ out the window but a sign on a slag pile
it says, it said there used to be a mountain here (hey, hey, hey)
[post+chorus]
there used to be a mountain here (hey, hey, hey, hey)
there used to be a mountain here (hey, hey, hey, hey)
there used to be a mountain
