[Intro]
Gm C C Gm Gm C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Gm C C GmEarly fall descended on the dry back country Aspens
Gm C GIt could be any time now that the bulls start bugling
Gm C C GmI watched the pack mule panniers, see the loads are riding even
Gm C GmIs it in my mind or did I finally hear one sing?
 
 
[Verse 2]
Gm C C GmIt's been ten years since I first came to the mountains with my father
Gm C GA half pint in each saddle bag and stars in both my eyes
Gm C C GmI don't miss the taste of liquor or really anything about it
Gm C GmBut the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise
 
 
[Chorus]
G C C GmOh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
C G C GmA little elevation and an open-ended prayer
G C C GmHoldin' out for more than breakin' even
G C C Gm GI've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
 
 
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Gm C C GmThe bull had come in tight and he was screamin' in dark timber
Gm C GI could see his brown eyes movin', hear him breathin' as he wheeled
Gm C C GmBut tomorrow full of promise, I just lived there in the moment
Gm C GmHunted back door camp for enough grouse to make a meal
 
 
[Chorus]
G C C GmOh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
C G C GmA little elevation and an open-ended prayer
G C C GmHoldin' out for more than breakin' even
G C C Gm GI've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there

[Chorus]
G C C GmOh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
C G C GmA little elevation and an open-ended prayer
G C C GmHoldin' out for more than breakin' even
G C C Gm GI've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
