[Intro]
N.C.
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains,  Build a cabin nobody can find,
[Start Percussion]
I'm gonna move way back in the mountains,  Gonna leave this old city, behinDd.
[Verse 1]
How fDar can a mGan stretch a dDollar,  I thought as I counted my pAay,
I tDold myself Gover and Dover,  There's got to be some other wAay,
No lDight at the Gend of the Dtunnel,  The whole world is falling apAart,
And DI need this lGoad on my shDoulder,  Like I need a hAole in my hDeart.
[Chorus]
I'm gonna mDove way bGack in the mDountains,  Build a cabin nobody can fAind,
I'm gonna mDove way bGack in the mDountains,  Gonna leave this old cAity, behDind.
[Verse 2]
Well how lDong can a mGan hold a wDoman,  When he's standing on unsteady grAound,
But if sDhe's wanting thGings I can't gDive her,  Well things that make her world go rAound,
I'm gonna tDrade in my mGicrowave oDven,  For a cast Iron, pot bellied stAove,
Well Lord if aDll he can mGake is a lDiving,  We should a moved back a lAong time aDgo.
[Chorus]
We're gonna mDove way bGack in the mDountains,  Build a cabin nobody can fAind,
We're gonna mDove way bGack in the mDountains,  Gonna lDeave this old cAity, behDind.
[Chorus]
We're gonna mDove way bGack in the mDountains,  Build a cabin nobody can fAind,
We're gonna mDove way bGack in the mDountains,  Gonna lDeave this old cAity, behDind.

I'm gonna move way back in the mountains, Build a cabin nobody can find,

I'm gonna move way back in the mountains, Gonna leave this old city, behind.

[Verse 1]

How far can a man stretch a dollar, I thought as I counted my pay,

D G D A

I told myself over and over, There's got to be some other way,

No light at the end of the tunnel, The whole world is falling apart,

D G D A D

And I need this load on my shoulder, Like I need a hole in my heart.

Well how long can a man hold a woman, When he's standing on unsteady ground,

D G D A

But if she's wanting things I can't give her, Well things that make her world go round,

D G D A

I'm gonna trade in my microwave oven, For a cast Iron, pot bellied stove,

D G D A D

Well Lord if all he can make is a living, We should a moved back a long time ago.

[Chorus]

We're gonna move way back in the mountains, Build a cabin nobody can find,

We're gonna move way back in the mountains, Gonna leave this old city, behind.
