I want to move up to the mountains
Where everybody's not as crowded
Maybe the air's a little thinner
But all my problems feel so small here
I want to live in a wood cabin
Where no one knows all my bad habits
I want to sit there in my silence, quiet, alone
A million miles from anyone I've ever known
Cause I need room to grow
Cause I'm living for the highs
And ducking the lows
Spinning my tires as far as they'll go
In two years down the line
I'll regret the tears I cried
If I don't follow the sunset blind
Oh mountain state of mind
My mom she wants me to be smarter
My dad he tells me to work harder
But flowers only bloom when it rains
And I've been in a drought for days
The birds are chirping, don't you notice
The wind is singing, hear it's chorus
Can't feel a thing when I'm up this high
We'll talk till we think we might die
Snow capped mountain
Late night laughing
Red wine drinking
And I've been thinking
Small wood cabin
Cause I've been traveling
My thoughts unraveling
And I've been crashing
Snow capped mountain
Late night laughing
Red wine drinking
And I've been thinking
A small wood cabin
Cause I've been traveling
My thoughts unraveling
And I've been crashing
Cause living for the highs
And ducking the lows
Spinning my tires as far as they go
In two years down the line
I'll regret the tears I cried
If I don't follow this sunset blind
Oh mountain state of mind
