Capo on 1
[Intro] x8
C
[Verse]
CRunnin' for the mountains, yeah I Fgot a heavy load that's been hauntin' my Cday
Fightin' my old demons, seems Flike it's gettin' a lot harder these Cdays
But I'm Gdoin' what I can, Frunnin' from my crazy Cways
CTattoo'd and branded, Fshootin' down things, doin' it my own Cway
Livin' like an outlaw, lovin' Fall the pain, the hard times comin' my Cway
No I'm Gnot losing myself to the Fchangin' ways of to- Cday
CBusted held for ransom, yeah, I've Fdone my time getting beat by the Cman
Driftin' stoned and lonesome, yeah, I Fknow how to get by the best that I Ccan
Yeah, I'm Glookin' for a mountain to Fwash my dirty Chands
[Chorus]
Hey, I'm Flookin' for a mountain that I wanna call Chome
Yeah, I'm Flookin' for a mountain a place to rest my Cbones
And I Gjust want to breathe that Fmountain air until I'm Cgone
Yeah, I Gjust want to breathe that Fmountain air until I'm Cgone

CRunnin' on empty, I've been Fspeedin' so hard my eyes are turnin' Cgray
CFeelin' mean and shaky from Fall the hell raisin' that I've done for the Cday
Now I'm Gheadin' down south Ftryin' to find a better Cway
[Chorus]
Hey, I'm Flookin' for a mountain that I wanna call Chome
Yeah, I'm Flookin' for a mountain a place to rest my Cbones
Yeah, I Gknow I've been ridin' high and I Fmade mama cry
'Cause I've been Cbusted my whole damn life
Yeah, I Gknow I've been ridin' high and I Fmade mama cry
'Cause I've been Cbusted my whole damn life

Hell, I've been Cbusted my whole damn life, yeah, I've been busted my whole damn life
Well, I've been busted my whole damn life, well, I've been busted
Yeah, I know how to run, I know how to survive
