Mountain Man

(album: Crop Circles - 2013)

It was a beautiful sunny morning, so we went for a drive
Hiked up in the mountains, and we lost track of time
A kissing and a hugging, never saw the sun go down
I said "Baby we're lost", and she proceeded to freak out
So I said,

Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
And that coyote howls, and the grizzly bear he growls
I can get you through the night, oh yes I can
I'm a mountain man

I gave her a little hug, I said "There's no need to cry"
I used to be a beaver scout all I need is this Buck knife
I can carve a hook, pull fish from a brook and I bang on with a gun
Except tonight I don't really have one, and well, that's half the fun
Awe you know I'm only kidding Hun

Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I know you're a city girl, but if you had to you could eat a squirrel
Yeah I'd cook him up just right, you know I can
I'm a mountain man

We could pick berries in the moonlight
'Cause I know which ones to eat
How to recognize poison ivy
Should you go looking for leaves

Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I can bugle an elk, I can rattle a deer, I can grow you a big ol' bushy beard
And live up here all year and never go back
Yeah I'm a mountain man
A man with a plan
You're in good hands
Yeah, I'm your mountain man

Awe don't cry Honey, It's all gonna' be alright
