All the verses have the same pattern
RIFF
Her daddy lost most everything
On horses, whiskey, and wedding rings
A little work and luck my friend
AI'm gonna buy that mountain Gback againD  
California to Tennessee
Fortune has not yet found me
Empty hands and leather skin
Won't buy that mountain back again
GEndless nights, Longer roads
None of which have yet led home
G RIFF 1X
C'mon darlin keep your promise true
GAnother drink, Another job
And then it's home to you my love
GGonna buy that mountain back for you
RIFF 2X
Back for you...
ACause if I don't youG're an awful lot to loseD  
When my home again I see
Gonna buy that mountain for you and me
Uphill I'll make the rivers climb
You can swim with the stars in the fading light
Sleep by the river on that mountain high
Endless nights, Longer roads
None of which have yet led home
C'mon darlin keep your promise true
Another drink, Another job
Then it's home to you my love
Gonna buy that mountain back for you
Back for you...
Cause if I don't it's an awful lot
If I don't it's an awful lot
If I don't you're an awful lot to lose
Gonna buy that mountain back for you
Work these roads until I do
