Big Mountain
Wormy Lyrics

So I'll buy a beat up four door
I will purchase an old vehicle

Drive it til it's dead
I will keep driving the vehicle until it breaks down beyond repair.

Leave it on some stretch of highway
I will abandon the vehicle on a remote road.

Make em wonder where I went
I will leave people curious about my whereabouts.

Then I'll walk until my feet
I will continue traveling on foot until

Tell me they can't walk anymore
my feet are unable to carry me further

And I'll find a big old mountain
I will locate a large mountain

Sit up there for days
I will remain there for an extended period of time.

Let the buzzards think I'm dying
I will allow the scavenger birds to assume I am close to death.

Circle round my early grave
The buzzards will circle in anticipation of the end

But I'm living so much higher
I am experiencing a higher degree of living

Than I've ever lived before
I am experiencing a more fulfilling life than I have in the past

Lay a map down on the table
Place a physical representation of the geographic locations being discussed

Point out where I want to go
Indicate the various locations I desire to travel to.

See the California redwoods
Observe the gigantic redwood trees in California

And the Mississippi flow
Note the ongoing flow of the Mississippi River.

See the bears up in the Yukon
Spot the black bears living in the Yukon region of Canada.

Ask em how they weather the cold
Inquire how they survive in the cold, harsh climate

And I'll walk down to a barroom
I will walk to a local drinking establishment

Start shaking hands
Begin to interact with the other patrons

With the people spending time
Mingle with the other people passing time.

How they want it to be spent
Learn about how they wish to spend their time.

And I'll hear about their mothers
Learn about their families, including their mothers

Brothers, sisters, and their friends
Also learn about their relatives and companions.

There's this couple out in Rolla
There is a specific couple in Rolla

So much life behind their eyes
This couple has led an interesting life before my arrival

And their love is like a boulder
Their love is unbreakable, similar to a large rock

Couldn't break it if you try
No amount of effort could dissolve their love.

I'll listen to them singing
Pay attention to their vocal harmonies

Till I feel like myself again
Continue to listen until I feel rejuvenated

You can spend your whole life talking
It is possible to devote all of one's life to small talk.

To people who don't care
To speak with individuals who are uninterested

You can build yourself a castle
Construct a grand dwelling

Just sit up there
Yet, remain isolated from others.

Til the money makes you lonely
You may be unhappy due to financial wealth

And the walls start closing in
you will feel trapped, figuratively.

See the Arizona desert
Observe the sandy landscape of the State of Arizona.

And the snowy Vermont hills
Notice the wintry hills of Vermont.

See the peregrine in Michigan
Spot the Michigan falcon

And tell him how I feel
Communicate with the bird about my emotions.

See the white tailed deer running
View the rushing white-tailed deer.

Through the fields of my childhood home
Watch the deer travel through the fields of my youthful dwelling.
