Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just a poor man working day by day
Life's been a struggle, there's a mountain in my way
So strap your boots on, get ready for that first step
The uphill battle that I ain't even started yet
[Verse 2]
Chance is you find me
Out in the fields
Pounding my hammer
'Tween stone and steel
[Verse 3]
Done my fair share of
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, it's troubles, I got 'em
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, it's blues at the bottom
[Verse 4]
Ain't no map to follow, just follow your own path
Get close to the edge and there's no turning back
The wind and the rain gonna push you around
Hard times trying to break you, don't ever let 'em back you down
[Verse 5]
Chance is you'll find me
Rocking away in the fields
Pounding my hammer
On the stone and steel
[Verse 6]
Done my fair share of
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, it's troubles, I got 'em
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, blues at the bottom
[Verse 7]
Blood on my hands and there's holes in my jeans
You scrub all day but you never get them clean
The hard rock bottom, there ain't nothing down there but the blues
The top of the mountain, you still gotta pay your dues
[Verse 8]
Chance is you'll find me
Out in the fields
Pounding my hammer
On the stone and steel
[Verse 9]
Done my fair share of
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, troubles, I got 'em
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, blues at the bottom
[Verse 10]
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, these troubles, I got 'em
Mountain climbing
Mountain climbing
Whoa, there's blues at the bottom
