Lyrics

[Verse] How far can a man stretch a dollar? I thought as I counted my pay I told myself over and over There must be some other way No light at the end of the tunnel The whole world is falling apart And I need this load on my shoulder Like I need a hole in my heart [Chorus] I'm gonna move way back in the mountains Build a cabin nobody can find I'm gonna move way back in the mountains I'm gonna leave this old city behind [Verse] How does a man hold a woman When he's standing on unsteady ground? She's wantin' things I can't give her Things that make her world go round I'm tradin' this microwave oven For a cast iron pot-bellied stove If all I can make is a livin' Hey, I should have moved back a long time ago [Chorus] I'm gonna move way back in the mountains Build a cabin nobody can find I'm gonna move way back in the mountains I'm gonna leave this old city behind [Outro] I'm gonna move way back in the mountains Build a cabin nobody can find
