the mountain

Dierks Bentley

Well I bet my soul on a six string gamble
And I climb like hell through the brush and the bramble
Even though I had my doubts, told myself don't look down
And I turned that hill into a pile of gravel

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Yeah, that's only a mountain

Well you better know the bottom
if you wanna be a climber
'Cause there's always another one a little bit higher
Just when I think I'm finally done
I'm staring at another one
So I reach down deep and I lace 'em up tighter

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Yeah, that's only a mountain

Now I'm standing at the top with the sweat behind me
Yeah, you gotta look up if you ever wanna find me

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Now I'm standing at the top just shouting
Yeah, that's only a mountain
It's only a mountain, it's only a mountain
Only a mountain
Only a mountain, it was only a mountain
