Lyrics"Mountain Time"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
When fall leaves die, my thoughts turn far away Need to feel alive, and I'm tired of these great lakes As flakes start to fly, I dream of riding up so high Where I can reach my peak, and see miles of blue sky So drop me off in Vail and leave me alone It’s all I need to feel right at home I need mountain time, where I can get in the zone A guitar, a jeep and a pair of skis are all I need to own I need mountain time, where life still has ups and downs High speed quads to the top, deep powder back to town Put my conventional life on hold, and feed my soul with snow Mountain time, where no one gets old Sometimes these flatlands make me feel so low I'm making plans and I know where I need to go To get a jagged horizon, I gotta head out west Get some altitude, where my attitude is best Just drop me off in Vail, and let me ski It’s all I want my life to be, yeah I need mountain time, where I can get in the zone A guitar, a jeep and a pair of skis are all I need to own I need mountain time, where life still has ups and downs High speed quads to the top, deep powder back to town Put my conventional life on hold, and feed my soul with snow Mountain time, where no one gets old It's true I can still ski here, but lifts and lines are so much slower Yes, there's a lake effect, but it's ten ice turns over and over I could pray, but God already knows I'm only gettin' older I could stay, but that would only drag me down even lower I've made up my mind I need mountain time, no Michigan hills anymore My boards are in the rack, and I've got one boot out the door I need mountain time, the ski bum life is what I love And I'm one step away, from finally risin' above I'm gonna have to leave these pretty lakes and trees behind For mountain time Copyright © ℗ 2022 by Scott Cooley.
