Billy Bob Thorton – That Mountian lyrics

Theres a big black train
I've been hearing all my life
Every night at sundown
I hear its lonesome cry
I look through the screen door
I see a rocking chair
My momma sitting in it thinking bout the world out there

She wants to go over that mounting
To see whats on the other side
She said, "I want to go over that mountian.
Before the day that I die."

She's never set foot out of this poor valley holler
She talks about her dreams about some other way of life
87 years of living, and never had much of everything
Is it asking to much to see a damned ole' deisel trian

She wants to go over that mounting
To see whats on the other side
She said, "I want to go over that mountian.
Before the day that I die."

Twenty years ago today, my daddy left this holler
He said I'll be coming back tomorrow night
I remember the sound of his boot hills in the gravel
Well he ain't been back since, and he never said goodbye.

She wants to go over that mounting
To see whats on the other side
She said, "I want to go over that mountian.
Before the day that I die."
