Mountain I’ll Call Home

Verse 1

I’ve spent my life chasing daylight,

With a hammer, a wheel, and a dream.

Trading pieces of my younger years

For a paycheck and gasoline.

I’ve slept with a tired heart beside me,

And a thousand thoughts in my head.

But somewhere beyond these highways,

There’s a place I’ve never left.

Verse 2

I don’t need a mansion on a hillside,

Or a name carved into stone.

Just a little patch of heaven,

Where a man can finally come home.

Tall pines standing like old friends,

A creek running clear and free.

A front porch facing the sunset,

And some quiet waiting for me.

Chorus

There’s a mountain I’ll call home,

Where the wind knows my name.

Where the scars of my past

Don’t carry the same weight.

I’ll trade these crowded roads

For a sky full of stars.

Build a life with my own two hands,

Heal an old, worn-out heart.

When my working days are over,

And the miles are finally gone,

I’ll find my peace waiting

On the mountain I’ll call home.

Verse 3

I’ll wake up with the sunrise,

Not an alarm or a race.

Pour my coffee by the window,

And thank God for this place.

The world can keep its worries,

Its chasing and its gold.

I’ve spent enough of my lifetime

Trying to prove what I’m worth.

Bridge

Maybe that mountain was inside me

Long before I found the land.

Maybe every broken road I walked

Was shaping who I am.

Every storm, every struggle,

Every tear I had to own,

Was just a road sign pointing

To the mountain I’ll call home.

Final Chorus

There’s a mountain I’ll call home,

Where the pine trees touch the sky.

Where the only thing I’m chasing

Is a peaceful life.

I’ll raise a glass to the journey,

To the battles I’ve won.

And I’ll smile at the man in the mirror

For never giving up.

Outro

Yeah, the road was long…

But it led me where I belong.

To a mountain I’ll call home.
