Mountain Men

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live your life off the grid? Have you wished you could shed the complications of modern society and live in the wilderness, using only the things nature has provided? Meet Eustace Conway, Tom Oar and Marty Meierotto, three men who have devoted their lives to survival in its simplest form. But how simple is it really? From the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to the seven-month-long winters on the Yaak River in Montana to the frigid northern range of Alaska, the country is full of some very unforgiving terrain. Watch as these men face off against mudslides, falling trees, ravaging weather and even hungry animals, to make sure they obtain the food and supplies they will need to make it through the brutal winter months ahead.

The poacher and his daughter
throw soft shadows on the water in the night.
A thin moon slips behind them
as they pull the net with no betraying light.
And later on the coast road, I meet them
and the old man winks a smile.
And who am I to fast deny the right
to take a fish once in a while?
I walk with them, they wish me luck
when I ship out on the Sunday from the kyle.
And from the church I hear them singing
as the ship moves sadly from the pier.
Oh, poacher's daughter, Sunday best,
two hundred brave souls share the farewell tear.
There's a house on the hillside, where the drifting sands are born.
Lay down and let the slow tide wash me
back to the land where I came from.
Where the mountain men are kings
and the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Did my tour, did my duty. I did all they asked of me.
Died in the trenches and at Alamein
...died in the Falklands on T.V.
Going back to the mountain kings
where the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Long generations from the Isles
sent to tread the foreign miles
where the spiral ages meet.
Felt naked dust beneath their feet.
Future sun called winds to blow
and the past and present hard-eyed crow
flew hunting high and circling low over blackened plains of Eden.
There's a child and a woman praying for an end to the mystery.
Hoping for a word in a letter
fair wind-blown from across the sea
to where the mountain men are kings
and the sound of the piper counts for eveything.
There's a house on the hillside, where the drifting sands are born.
Lay down and let the slow tide wash me
back to the land where I came from.
Where the mountain men are kings
and the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Where the real mountain men are kings
and the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Feel the naked dust beneath my toes
while the future sun calls winds to blow
and the past and present black-eyed crow
flies hunting high and circling low

I bussed it north from Memphis
To a land of ice and snow
Passed through some badlands
Where people don’t live no more
Call it a hellhole
Maybe the devil livin’ there
could be the reason all the people
Movin’ on away
Now I aint scared of shanty towns
And cars that rust but don’t roll
But looking out my window

It happenned again
I thought I saw her smile
She was looking my way as she’d not
Done for quite some time
My temperature rose
My heart was beating strong
New life was pouring into me as if
It had never gone
She shines, she shines, she shines, she shines
I couldn’t stop those memories
And had no urge to try
So they rolled on over me like clouds
Across the sky
She took my eyes in hers
The future showed the past
Time had brought us back
Though we knew it would not last
She shines, she shines, she shines, shines
My temperature rose
My heart was beating strong
New life was pouring into me as if
It had never gone

You can hold yourself together
You can hang your head and cry
One day you will find that
There is nothing more
Certain than the passing time
When did the party end ?
I never even felt it near
There goes another friend
Before too long another year
You wanna try to live forever
I'm gonna try to stay with you
And if the wind of change should
Catch us up...
Tick tock bad clock
I want to slow it down
Why can't you let me be ?
I wan't to live right now
May the force of youth be right back
By your side where you roam
One day we will find
There is no mystery
Old is good but ain't it young
When will the party end ?
I don't feel it getting near
Here comes another friend
Before too long another year
You wanna try to live forever
I'm gonna try to stay with you
And if the wind of change should
Catch us up...
Tick tock bad clock
I want to slow it down
Why can't you let me be ?
I wan't to live right now

You talk and talk from the high up on your wall
It's your voice we love and it's true you know
You got what the people think they need
Someone else will pay to clean the mess you leave
Close your mind to follow me
Live the life I choose
For you're, you are nothing more than
Someone from another time
Someone from another world
Your ego's running wild
Walk away we'll let you go
Keep everything you stole
Egotistical you are the king
Your castle of cards, nothing more than sand
Solid like your eyes when you're shaking hands
Never knowing fear for the rising of the tide
I'm holding onto hope for you to turn out as I'd like
Close your mind to follow me
Live the life I choose
For you're, you are nothing more than
Someone from another time
Someone from another world
Your ego's running wild
Walk away we'll let you go
Keep everything you stole
Egotistical you are the king
And we don't need your haste
And we don't want your hate
Egotistical you are the king
Walk away we'll let you go
Keep everything you own

You get to me like so few I know
We've got to talk this out
Before my anger blows
One person in the world as far as you can see
Go find yourself and island or
Give it back to me
There's little more than we can give to us
Put it to the test
Start again if start again we must
This time around
Respect
Watch and listen up
I won't put you down
You need what I got
The signs are all around
Call me from your island
Tell me what you see
Wrap it right and you can
Send it back to me
There's little lore than we can give to us
Put it to the test
Start again if start again we must
This time around

There’s fire burning in my soul
Laying bare a fertile world
Much too hot, too fierce to control
It’s my anger, and it hurts like hell
I know I’m not alone
I’m just one of many on this road
It’s coming on me like a rising wind
Pushing me down like a raging sea
I know I’m safe, but I smell danger
My anger, my anger, damn my anger
Smouldering since I was small
Pushing me out from inside
Explosive, contained confrontations fall
exposing evermore the goal in sight
You know you’re not alone
You’re just one of many on this road
It’s coming on me like a rising wind
Pushing me down like a raging sea
I know I’m safe, but I smell danger

Ive been down and it took some time before
I realised how the situation
Could have left me, left me with a smile
Now I’m standing once again on solid ground
REFRAIN:
Maybe I should be thanking God
But nobody ever told me how to pray.
And I’m not sure that I even believe,
Or if I do that I have something to say
The time is coming, the time is coming
It’s not everyone that has the chance to know
The luck they have and how to see good in all
It’s harder to step out than to hide yourself in a
crowd.
You're gonna find, you've got nothing to complain about.
REFRAIN
Lately I’ve been looking up above
Beyond dark days that drag.
To nights that bring me pleasure and an ever growing
light.
And now I'm playing like a child once again.
Spring Time Coming, Spring Time Coming

She loves me so much but I'm so far away
When I get back home sho’ hope she feel the same.
Too much on her mind to bring her close to me
Seems like forever the way it's been.
Now I'm on the road again and when I call her on the
phone
I'm sure I'll be wanted as in days long gone.
She loves me so much but I'm so far away
When I get back home sho’ hope she feel the same.
There's always so much to do before it's time
To lie together, but then she's always so tired
Soon I'll be gone off to gig for my pay
And my chance with my woman will slip by again.
She loves me so much but I'm so far away

Crazy Stan singin' in the street
Loud and sweet but out of place
"I believe in me"
Holey shoes and eyes a blaze
He got a way of shaking your faith
He says
"I believe in me"
No judge - what I see
No judge - what I hear
All I know is I believe in me
No matter what you say
You won't change the way I think
There is but one thing which counts
And that's what I believe
Mama Sugar talking to her boy
"Listen good, to what I say
son, I believe in me
What you want be far away
four short words, your line, you trace"
I believe in me
No judge - what I see
No judge - what I hear
All I know is I believe in me
No matter what you say
You won't change the way I think
There is but one thing which counts
And that's what I believe
(x2)
Some are sure that they know true
stepping out into the light
I believe in me
Cross them off or find them right
Take their love, turn into mine
I believe in me
No judge - what I see
No judge - what I hear
All I know is I believe in me
No matter what you say
You won't change the way I think
There is but one thing which counts
And that's what I believe

Taxes raised by the union king,
a blockade in his back for the days of the wars.
-No importation and no exportation is making the nation bleed.
Yet the bailiffs demand their gold,
the uprising is growing for every day.
-The threatening, the torture, the killing of men
is a plague that must now come to end, once and for all.
Mountain men
hear the call now!
Fight tyranny's cold hand.
Mountain men
from the harsh land!
Cast of your chains and the burnings shackles.
Fortress they took one by one,
with success came support from the highborn class.
-We grant you aid to dethrone our king for financial prosperity.
The crown forced to negotiate,
so they called for a council of all four estates.
-Now we elect you captain of the realm,
so pull back your forces and return home.
Old and worn, to be forgotten.
Misled to the shade of stage
but with a plan, he will return.
Halfway to the council of the realm,
ambushed by rivals in disguise he met his demise.
By the blade of greed he fell down.
Mountain men
heard the call and
fought tyranny's cold hand.
Mountain men
from the harsh land
cast of their chains and the burnings shackles.
The king was dethroned and fled head over heels
and he ended his life in disgrace,
