Lyrics Down from the Mountain - The Infamous Stringdusters

Livin' on this level ground
Like a flatline heartbeat all around
The air is thick like black clay mud
And rainclouds cover up the sun

Way up high, it's like a dream
Where the snow, it falls, and the sun, it beams
The craggy rock and the rocky spires
Seems to light my heart on fire

Don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky Mountains ease my soul

Winds, they howl, and trees, they fall
The fire burn like the flames of hell
But fire brings life to the land
From life to dust, from dust to sand

Well, the mountain treats us all the same
No matter race, creed, or name
All equal underneath the sky
To let us live or watch us die

I don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky Mountains ease my soul

Precious life, it's precious land
No respect and all demands
Afraid to walk above the clouds
Too afraid to speak out loud

Well, the shadows cast across the plains
As the sun is settin' in a small refrain
While we scavenge fight and kill
The mountains stand and always will

I don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky Mountains ease my soul

I don't wanna come down
When I'm higher than the world below
I don't wanna come down
Rocky Mountains ease my soul
