[Intro]
Climbing a mountain
To get to the top
One and another keeping on
Not knowing why or what
I might find up there
Scratches crawl up my legs from
The desert trees
[Verse 1]
I sit and wonder
Sit and wonder
Do my mistakes
Keep me at the gate?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never be better than you and me standin' at the top with a clear view
[Chorus]
If I lose my way I don’t care
If I lose my way I don’t care
I got someone like-like you with me
My mountain baby
If I lose my way I don’t care
If I lose my way I don’t care
I got someone like-like you with me
My mountain baby
My mountain baby
[Verse 2]
Still between us
Between us
There’s a limit to
What you and I can take
[Chorus]
If I lose my way I don’t care

I got someone like-like you with me
My mountain baby
If I lose my way I don’t care
If I lose my way I don’t care
I got someone like-like you with me
My mountain baby
[Bridge]
Climbing a mountain to get to the top
One and another keeping on
Not knowing why or what
I might find up there
Scratches crawl up my legs from the desert trees
[Chorus]
If I lose my way I don’t care
If I lose my way I don’t care
I got someone like-like you with me
My mountain baby

As soon as I wrote this song, I imagined a kids’ choir on it. I don’t exactly know why. The only reference I can really come up with is the Charlie Brown Christmas album—that kind of scrappy, jazz-style kid choir. I didn’t want proper singers or anything, just a bunch of kids. So that was the first...
