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
