Lonely Mountain

Tuning: D A D G A D Oh tiring city Leave it from time to time People with things in their ears Cutting me off in line Get on the long yellow highway Need to get the hell out Hassles, Hassles, Hassles Always stacking up Oh jilted lover Why won’t you, leave me be Why must you grind your axe Against my, fruit bearing tree. Oh lonely mountain Quiet peaceful and green Out here in isolation Don’t hear no, ambulance scream Oh bitter friend Envious of others jobs Envious of others freedom Gotta work hard to find your sweet spot Devoted my whole life Nothing came by luck Your dad paid for your college My dad gave me five bucks Oh endless sessions Down here at Ellis and Hyde My elbows at the desk I listen and scrutinize Come home lay down in bed Drum loop stuck in my head Try and shut my brain off And open Night Stalker again Oh lonely record No longer has a home Only money comes When I get out on the road Oh lonely ocean Why it must I cross To end up in Puerto Real Spain Where I’ll turn and I’ll toss Oh lonely singer Lies there awake, looks at the clock Flipping through a black book Re-learnin’ songs that he’s forgot Oh eager fan Follows me show to show If I had a good night I might come out and say hello Oh patient lover Waiting by the phone I call her from my layover And tell her I’m coming home Scattered lights of south San Francisco Sparkle like diamonds When the night is black and my airplane’s Downward glidin’ Oh love I missed you Lie down next to me Sway with me like the ocean ’til I fall off into a deep long sleep Oh dandelion com in’ up from the ground I reach for a notebook Write down some words And try to wind down
