  • One, two

    Well I bet my soul on a six string gamble
    And I climb 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

    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?
    Yeah, that's only a mountain

    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

    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?
    Yeah, that's only a mountain

    Now I'm standing at the top with the sweat behind me
    Yeah, you gotta look up if you ever wanna find me

    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 at the top just shouting
    Yeah, that's only a mountain
    It's only a mountain yeah
    It's only a mountain
    Only a mountain
    Only a mountain
    Yeah it was only a mountain Writer/s: Charles Lucas Ian Dick, Dierks Bentley, Jon Randall, Natalie Nicole Hemby
