[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Well, I bet my soul on a six-string gamble
And I climbed like hell through the brush and the bramble
Even though I had my doubts, told myself don't look down
And I turned that hill into a pile of gravel
[Chorus]
It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Hell, it's only a mountain
[Verse 2]
Well, you better know the bottom if you wanna be a climber
'Cause there's always another one a little bit higher
Just when I think I'm finally done I'm staring at another one
So I reach down deep and I lace 'em up tighter
[Chorus]
It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Hell, it's only a mountain
[Bridge]
Now I'm standing at the top with the sweat behind me
Yeah, you gotta look up if you ever wanna find me
[Chorus]
It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Now I'm standing on the top just shouting
Yeah, it's only a mountain
[Post-Chorus]
It's only a mountain, yeah
It was only a mountain
Only a mountain
[Outro]
Only a mountain
It was only a mountain
