Letras de Mountain Right

He was born in Dixon Holler in 1893
Never had no running water, no electricity
He raised his own tobacco and he raised a family
And he always said, "You can′t go wrong in life
If you do what's mountain right"
Stand your ground straight and tall, mountain right
Go down proud if you must fall
This has always been our land
And I love it more than life
And when I die, I know that I lived mountain right
A car rolled up one day, "U.S. Highway" on the door
"The Interstate is coming through, you can′t live here anymore"
The old man said, "My pa lived here and my grandpa before
And I ain't giving up without a fight
Gonna do what's mountain right"
They came back to give him one last chance to change his mind
They came with guns and dogs and talked through megaphones this time
The old man said, "I′ve told you once, I′m not the running kind
And if you boys don't shoot first, I just might
And I′ll be mountain right"
Gonna stand my ground straight and tall, mountain right
And say to hell with all of y'all
If you′re gonna take my land, you're gonna have to take my life
But when I die, I′ll know that I was mountain right
Now if you gas up in Dixon, ask anyone in town
They'll point you to a cabin that the highway goes around
You can read the headstone where his epitaph is found
It says, "God may judge him in a different light
But here he was mountain right"
He stood his ground straight and tall, mountain right
Said, "I'll fall proud if I must fall"
This had always been his land
And he loved it more than life
And when he died, he knew inside
That he was mountain right
He was born in Dixon Holler in 1893
Never had no running water, no electricity
He raised his own tobacco and he raised a family
And he always said, "You can′t go wrong in life
If you do what′s mountain right
If you do what's mountain right"
I′m gonna stand proud, gonna stand tall
Just say to hell with all of y'all
Do what′s mountain right
