[Intro – Quiet mountain morning. Acoustic guitar, soft wind, distant yodel.]
Morning light…
Cold sunrise…
Snow drifts softly…
Open skies…
One lone echo…
Through the trees…
Calling gently…
With the breeze…
Yo…
Lay…
Hee…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Campfire burning…
Coffee strong…
A peaceful place…
Where we belong…
Boots on gravel…
Hearts at ease…
Nothing moving…
But the leaves…
Yo-lay-ay…
Yo-lay-hee…
Still as stone…
Still as we…
⸻
[Build]
Hear that rumble…
Feel that shake…
Every hillside…
Starts to wake…
Raise your head…
Hold your ground…
Something’s coming…
Hear that sound…
Hey…
Hey…
HEY…
⸻
[Break – Everything stops.]
…
[Lead]
Enough…
Sleeping…
…
[Everyone]
WAKE…
THE…
MOUNTAIN!!
⸻
[Verse 2]
Boots hit dirt!
Raise the fire!
Kick it louder!
Take it higher!
Banjo flying!
Fiddles scream!
Nothing’s ever!
What it seems!
Yodel-ay-hee!
Yo-lay-ho!
Move your feet!
LET IT GO!!
⸻
[Chorus]
HEY!!
HEY!!
HEY!!
Raise ’em high!
Raise ’em loud!
Wake the whole damn mountain crowd!
Yodel-ay-hee!
Yo-lay-ho!
Spin around!
Steal the show!
Clap your hands!
Stomp your boots!
Shake the hills!
Wake the roots!
⸻
[Breakdown – Heavy bass and industrial pulse.]
Whoa-oh!
Whoa-oh!
Whoa-oh!
HEY!
Yo-lay-hee!
Yo-lay-ho!
Faster!
Faster!
LET IT GO!!
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full chaos.]
Raise the mountains!
Raise the sky!
Laugh until the eagles fly!
Chainsaws roaring!
Drums attack!
Ain’t no turning…
Ain’t no back!
Yodel-ay-hee!
Yodel-ay-ho!
Yodel-ay-hee-hi-HOOOO!!
HEY!!
HEY!!
HEY!!
One more round!
One more song!
If we’re leaving—
WE’RE LEAVING STRONG!!
⸻
[Outro – Everything cuts out except one banjo.]
…plunk…
[Soft Voice]
“…Now that’s how you wake a mountain.”
