Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up in the mountains
Cold floor under my feet
Kettle on the iron stove
Smoke curled up soft and sweet
Blue jay on the fence post
Sap on the buckskin rail
My hands know work from sunrise
My boots know hail
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't much money here
Ain't much I can claim
Just this old back road
And this blueblood name
[Chorus]
Mountains got me
Mountains got me right
(oh, mountains got me)
Woke up honest
And I made it through the night
[Verse 2]
Saw my old man’s shovel
Leaned by the woodpile still
Saw my mama’s apron
Hangin' on the sill
River down the valley
Keeps on runnin' low
Same as my hard luck heart
Long as I go
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't much money here
Ain't much I can claim
Just this old back road
And this blueblood name
[Chorus]
Mountains got me
Mountains got me right
(oh, mountains got me)
Woke up honest
And I made it through the night
[Bridge]
If I leave this ridge line
I’ll be slow to roam
But every crooked mile back
Still smells like home
[Chorus]
Mountains got me
Mountains got me right
(mountains got me)
Woke up honest
And I made it through the night

Slow acoustic blues song. Singer with that raspy twang. Singing about waking up in the mountains and that life.
