Where the Mountains Meet the Bay by Buddy Wasisname And The Other Fellers Lyrics

Where the mountains sweeps down to meet the coast along the bay
I’m going home if I live to see the day
While this old flat town has got me tied down
I’ll stay on until my money’s made
Remember the snow flying, winds howling outside
Back door flappin’ and the wind a-bafflin’ smoke down inside the pipes
I spent all my free days cutting and hauling wood
And I trade it all for the four lanes out front any day if I could
They never knew what happy meant when they put up all of those signs
The drivers are swearing and the horns are blaring
Everybody pretends they’re blind
And the drunks and the bums are the only ones who’ll pass the time of day
And I know if I gave it to them they’d drink all of my money away
Remember the ice moving out it was the loudest thing I’d heard
And the tick, tick, tock of my clock kept a getting’ on my nerves
Well now my new electric alarms and I sleep on into the day
Dreaming about spring coming to that place on the bay
I never knew what dying meant until I saw my old man go
Poor old Ma she’d have to go it all alone
And it’s been so long since the kids been gone the next time we’re down that way
It’ll only be to bury her where the mountains meets the bay
Where the mountains sweeps down to meet the coast along the bay
I’m going home if I live to see the day
