[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
