Mountain Goat Lyrics by Ian Munsick

Way up high in isolation
Where most men dare not go
That’s my destination
If I’m anywhere but home

I was born with a song and a six-string
Cut teeth on an ole banjo
Dancing in the snow to a fiddle and a bow
‘Cause I’m the Mountain Goat

I shake hands with Old Man Winter
The coyote calls me friend
I break bread with saints and sinners
‘Cause I’ve been both of them
There’s a king in Texas
And there’s a king of the road
But where grizzly prowl
And the lone wolf howl
I’m the Mountain Goat

I shake hands with Old Man Winter
The coyote calls me friend
I break bread with saints and sinners
‘Cause I’ve been both of them
There’s a king in Texas
And there’s a king of the road
But where grizzly prowl
And the lone wolf howl
I’m the Mountain Goat

There’s an Ole Bocephus and a Possum and a Chief
But I’m the Mountain Goat
