Dierks Bentley - The Mountain Lyrics






Well I bet my soul on a six string gamble
And I climb like hell through the brush and the bramble
Even though I had my doubts, told myself don't look down
And I turned that hill into a pile of gravel

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Yeah, that's only a mountain

Well you better know the bottom if you wanna be a climber
'Cause there's always another one a little bit higher
Just when I think I'm finally done I'm staring at another one
So I reach down deep and I lace 'em up tighter

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Yeah, that's only a mountain

Now I'm standing at the top with the sweat behind me
Yeah, you gotta look up if you ever wanna find me

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Now I'm standing at the top just shouting
Yeah, that's only a mountain
It's only a mountain, it's only a mountain
Only a mountain
Only a mountain, it was only a mountain

  37. M.... F....

    Good song man

  38. L.... H....

    Where was that picture taken?

  39. d.... ....

    The lyrics are so simple but so powerful!! Simple= easy to recall. The line, "Well you gotta know the bottom if you wanna be a climber", is meaningful to me, because, if I understand the deep, very tough lows in life, and what I can learn from them, the top of those mountains are sweeter. More importantly, it prepares me just a little bit more for the next bottom, and the next mountain, but actually being more accepting of it instead of fighting it so hard. The key is looking up, like the lyrics said. To me it's looking up to Jesus, to help me through it.

  40. H.... B....

    Definitely can hear and feel the Tom Petty vibes 👌

  41. N.... K....

    Would have been nicer if the fiddles were turned up a little, but this is still a great song with a nice message! "The Mountain" is also still more Country sounding than anything that's being played on radio now as well.
