{section: Riff}
Her daddy lost most everything
{sot}On horses, whiskey, and wedding rings
A little work and luck my friend
A--------------------------G--------------------------D{eot}
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
 
{sot}G--------------------------------------------{eot}
{sot}Endless nights, Longer roads
None of which have yet led home

C'mon darlin keep your promise true

{sot}Another drink, Another job

Gonna buy that mountain back for you
{section: Riff 2x}
Back for you...
{sot}A-------------------G----------------------------D{eot}
Cause 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
