Lookin' for a Mountain
Seeking Redemption: Hank Williams III's Journey Through Hardship
Lyrics
Runnin for the mountains
Expressing a desire to escape or seek refuge in the mountains.
Yeah I got a heavy load thats been hauntin' my day
Carrying a burdensome weight that has been troubling throughout the day.
Fightin' my own demons
Fighting personal inner struggles or conflicts.
Seems like its getting a lot harder these days
Acknowledging the increasing difficulty of dealing with challenges.
But I'm doin' what I can runnin' from my crazy ways
Striving to control erratic behavior and tendencies.
Tattooed and branded, shootin' down fame, don' it my own way
Having a rebellious and independent spirit, rejecting conventional fame.
Livin' like and outlaw, lovin' all the pain and the hard times comin' my way
Living a tough life outside societal norms, embracing pain and hardships.
No I'm not losin' myself to the changin' ways of today
Resisting conformity and not succumbing to modern changes.
Busted and held for ransome
Experiencing legal troubles, possibly imprisonment or captivity.
Yeah I've don my time gettin' beat by the man
Having served time and faced adversity at the hands of authority.
Drifin' stoned and lonesome
Wandering while under the influence of drugs, feeling isolated.
Yeah I know how to get by the best that I can
Adapting and coping with life's challenges to the best of one's ability.
Yeah I'm lookin' for a mountain to wash my dirty hands
Seeking solace or redemption by finding a mountain to cleanse one's sins.
Yeah I'm lookin' for a mountain that I wanna call home
Desiring a mountain as a permanent and comforting residence.
Yeah I'm lookin' for a mountain, a place to rest my bones and I just wanna breath that mountain air til I'm gone
Longing for a mountain to be a peaceful resting place, wanting to breathe fresh mountain air until death.
Runnin' on empty, I been speedin' so hard my eyes are turnin' gray
Feeling physically and emotionally drained, pushing oneself to the limit.
Feelin' mean and shaky from all the hellraisin' I've done for today
Experiencing a harsh demeanor and instability due to a rebellious lifestyle.
Now I'm headin' down south tryin to find a better way
Heading south in search of a better life or alternative path.
Yeah I'm lookin' for a mountain that I wanna call home
Reiterating the desire for a mountain as a home.
Yeah I'm lookin' for a mountain a place to rest my bones
Expressing the need for a mountain as a place to find peace and solace.
Yeah I know I been ridin high and that made mama cry cause I been busted my whole damn life
Reflecting on a history of rebellious living causing distress to loved ones.
I been busted my whole damn life
Reaffirming a lifetime of facing challenges and adversity.
I been busted....yeah I know how to run, I know how to survive cause I been busted my whole damn life.
Emphasizing survival skills acquired through a lifetime of challenges.
