"The Mountain Of Corsicana" lyrics

(You wanna go, you wanna go)
(You wanna go, you wanna go)
(You wanna go, you wanna go)
(You wanna go, you wanna go)

You wanna go, you wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
You wanna go, you wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
To guide you when your time comes

Bow before the mountain
Where the body lies so still
Where no heart beats
So the chest caves in
One last look at the mountain

Eyes shut
Hands up
Reach blind towards the outcome
Will you look back
When your time comes?

You wanna go, you wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain (to come home)
You wanna go, you wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain (to guide you)

(You wanna go, you wanna go)
(You wanna go, you wanna go)

I let you go, I watch you fade away slow
What was once warm is now ice cold

When I found you (ice cold)
Sickness crept with every step
Except
You still stood tall
Stood up high knowing you soon would fall

A man's fate is no mistake
And I can't fault
The soft grace through misery
When my time comes

I can only hope to just be half of (When my time comes)
I can only hope to just be half of who you were

Stand up
When your time comes

You wanna go, you wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain (to come home)
You wanna go, you wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain (to guide you)

(You wanna go, you wanna go)
Yeah!
(You wanna go, you wanna go)

I let you go
I watch you fade away slow
And yet despite it all

Not ever, never a victim
What was once a man, now is a mountain
