Been To The Mountain

Been To The Mountain - Margo Price

Lyrics by：Margo Price/Jeremy Ivey

Composed by：Margo Price/Jeremy Ivey

I got nothing to prove

I got nothing to sell

I'm not buying what you've got

I ain't ringing no bells

I got a mint in my pocket

Got a bullet in my teeth

I'm going straight in the fire

I'm gonna talk to the high priest

Used to be a lover queen and a drifter

A cowboy devil a bride in a box and

A pilgrim and a thief but it was me underneath

I just know who I'm not and that's alright with me

Alright alright

Can't tell me nothing babe

And that's a fact

I have been to the mountain and back

Oh yeah

Well I wish I was God

But I'm glad that I'm not

'Cause I think too much

Got my head in a knot

The world's on fire

Better save your brother

I've been a child and

I've been a mother

I've been a victim and

I've been a tumor

Used to be your waitress

But now I'm a consumer

I've been on food stamps

I've been outta my mind

I rolled in dirty dollars

Stood in the welfare line

I've been a number

I've been under attack

I have been to

The mountain and back

Alright alright

I've been a dancer

A saint an assassin

I've been a nobody

A truck driver shaman

So many seasons that

I've been adrift

Sometimes

I've wondered if I even exist

Do you ever walk down the street and

Do you think to yourself

Am I being watched man

Am I on the list

Well

I been called every name in the book

Honey go on

Take your best shot

Take your best shot

Take your best shot

And I got my back to the gun you

Aim at my heart

Go on take your best shot

Now

I am the hunter

And I am the hunted

I am a baby

I'm wanted

I'm an alchemist teacher

I'm a sinner I'm a preacher

And I know that there's more here than this

As I stare in the void of

The black mountain vacuum

I know the scent of death like a perfume

No this ain't the end

This ain't the end

This ain't the end

This ain't the end

Ooh take off your tired eyes

Undress your goodbyes 'cause

I have been to the mountain

I have been to the mountain

I have been to the mountain

I have been to the mountain and back

Alright alright

Can't tell me nothing babe

And that's a fact

I have been to the mountain and back

Alright alright

Alright
