A solitary figure I roam these rocks, solo This mountain is my castle I just want to be left alone Don't follow in my footsteps (Don't follow, don't follow) Don't follow in my footsteps Don't follow in my big foot steps ♪ I swim in the river I climb the evergreen I hunt with the cougar Never heard and seldom seen Don't follow in my footsteps (Don't follow, don't follow) Don't follow in my footsteps Don't follow in my big foot steps ♪ A man cut a cutline Right through my back yard Then he piped a pipeline Through my paradise, under the stars Don't follow in my footsteps (Don't follow, don't follow) Don't follow in my footsteps Don't follow in my big foot steps ♪ So I rode the pipeline From Bella Coola to the Georgia Straight I hoisted my protest sign And stopped cars on the lion's gates Don't follow in my footsteps (Don't follow, don't follow) Don't follow in my footsteps (Don't follow, don't follow) Don't follow in my footsteps (Don't follow, don't follow) Don't follow in my footsteps Don't follow in my big foot steps
