Molly Hatchet Down from the Mountain lyrics

JR lived out in the woods all his natural born life
Ma and pa kept him working
No time to take a wife
Kept him working, work it hard boy

He couldn't take it no more
He said, ‽Hey, I'm going away
I got a date with lady luck
Gonna see what she has to say”

Down from the mountain wild in the streets
First trip to the big city
It ain't nothing but doggone pity
Looking for a little company

Cleaned his truck got it all gassed up
Till it would blind you from the shine
Scrubbed himself down put his Sunday pants on
Hot damn, he was ready to ride

Down from the mountain wild in the streets
Said, ‽Hey baby, what's your name”
Said, ‽I want to jump in your game
Looking for a little company”


Down from the mountain wild in the streets
Said, ‽Hey baby, what's your name”
Said, ‽I want to jump in your game
Looking for a little company”

Well, I saw the dragon lady
She was walking up to me
Said, ‽Good God Almighty baby, Lord have mercy”
What a sight she was to see

She gave me a wink of her eye
Said, ‽Boy, won't you come on in”
She had a face that looked like an angel
But her body was built for sin

Down from the mountain wild in the streets
Said, ‽Hey baby, what's your name”
Said, ‽I want to jump in your game
Looking for a little company”
