Save a Mountain for Me

Save me a mountain to climb
Save me a river to cross
At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains
Wail in the distance and rattle my chains

Save me a valley like the one in the distance
Save me a canyon to swallow this jail
I wanna stand outside and feel the rain when it falls
Breathe the air on the other side of these walls

Save a mountain for me, Lord
Save a mountain for me
It sounds like a choir when the chain gangs shout
Save me a mountain for when I get out

Save me a desert, just me and the sand
Save me a sea to sail
In my heart I know I'm too weak to be strong
I've been wasting away in this jail for too long

Save a mountain for me, Lord
Save a mountain for me
It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chain gangs shout
Save me a mountain for when I get out

Save me a mountain to climb
Save me a river to cross
At midnight the sound of the stockyard trains
Still wail in the distance and rattle my brains

Save me a valley like the one in the distance
Save me a canyon to swallow this jail
If only I could tie all these dreams together
I could break out of the big house and run forever

Save a mountain for me, Lord
Oh, save a mountain for me
It's like a choir of fallen angels when the chain gangs shout
Save me a mountain for when I get out

Save a mountain for me
Save it, save it
Save a mountain for me
It sounds like a choir when the chain gangs shout
Save a mountain for me
Save a mountain for when I get out

I need a mountain
Save a mountain...
