I’m a modern man with a mountain heart
Windin’ my way back to the start
Runnin’ from the city lights and lookin’ to see some stars
Just a modern man with a mountain heart

Salmon river with a whisper speak
Of sunlit slow on a lonesome peak
Tell of distant thunder and the first thaw of the year
When I hear you murmurin’ my mind starts runnin’ clear

Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Windin’ my way back to the start
Runnin’ from the city lights and lookin’ to see some stars
Just a modern man with a mountain heart

Rain on the Rockies where the river’s young
One more journey just begun
Fill up my senses with that ancient view
Fire on bone
Knife on stone
Hummin’ a timeless tune

Drippin’ branches in a swirlin’ fog
A sapling grows from a hollow log
Where the big bear and the lions still can find the room to roam
Maybe I can shed my suit and tie and finally feel at home
Just a modern man with a mountain heart
Windin’ my way back to the start
Runnin’ from city lights and lookin’ to see some stars
Just a modern man with a mountain heart

Just a modern man with a mountain heart

Just a modern man
