Lyrics Gettin' Down On The Mountain - Corb Lund

When the oil stops, everything stops, nothing left in the fountain
Nobody wants paper money, son, so you just well stop countin'
Can you break the horse? Can you light the fire? What's that, I beg your pardon?
You best start thinking where food comes from and I hope you tend a good garden

Gettin' down the mountain
Gettin' down the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
I'll be gettin' down the mountain

When the truck don't run, the bread don't come, have a hard time finding petrol
Water ain't runnin' in the city no more, do you hold any precious metal?
Can you gut the fish? Can you read the sky? What's that about overcrowdin'?
You ever seen a man who's kids ain't ate for 17 days and countin'?

Gettin' down the mountain
Gettin' down the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
I'll be gettin' down the mountain

There ain't no heat and the powers gone out, it's kerosene lamps and candles
The roads are blocked it's all grid-locked, you got a short wave handle
Can you track the dear? Can you dig the well? Couldn't quiet hear your answer
I think I see a rip in the social fabric, brother can you spare some ammo?

Gettin' down the mountain
Gettin' down the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
I'll be goin' to ground on the mountain

When the oil stops, everything stops, nothing left in the fountain
Nobody wants paper money, son, so you just well stop countin'
Can you break the horse? Can you light the fire? What's that, I beg your pardon?
I think I see a rip in the social fabric; brother can you passthe ammo

Gettin' down the mountain
Gettin' down the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
I'll be gettin' down the mountain

Gettin' down the mountain
Gettin' down the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
I'll be goin' to ground on the mountain
Gettin' down the mountain
