Monster Truck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Sweet mountain river, come take me away
Way out west of the prairies, is where I'm gonna stay

Yeah, sweet mountain river, I'm gonna make you my home
Because you fill me with that sweet sweet joy
And I'm never wanna leave you alone

I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long

For so long, yeah
For so long, yeah

Sweet mountain woman, I'm gonna take you with me
I'm gonna give you everything you want
And you're never gonna wanna leave, no
Sweet mountain woman, I'm gonna show you my way yeah
I'm gonna see you at the break of dawn
I'm gonna see you when the light goes away

I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long no
I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long yeah

I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long no
I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long
I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long
I, haven't felt home, in this city, for so long yeah

For so long, yeah
For so long, yeah
For so long

Dude has a great voice.  This track is like a fortuitous cross between 90's grunge, and 70's rock.

Chris Lacey

I'm not sure why but they remind of Creedence Clearwater Revival but with the power cranked up!
Absolutely sensational band and what a voice!

I don't want to get all "look, I'm old, and I've heard a lot of rock music in my time..." here, but the thing is, I'm old, and I've heard a lot of rock music in my time, and without a shadow of a doubt Furiosity is one of the best, most consistent and all ends up excellent records I've listened to in years. Everybody should buy it.

Message ends.
