The Mountain Knows Your Name

[Verse] The highway growled like a restless beast The snow came down in a silver feast A kid in a rig with a load too high Blew past the diner with a nervous eye [Prechorus] The old-timer sipped his coffee black He heard that roar and his mind flashed back [Chorus] "Breaker breaker slow it down The mountain’s teeth will pull you down Let off the Jake in the ice and snow Follow my voice I’ll guide you slow" The mountain knows your name tonight But it don’t care if you lose the fight [Verse 2] The kid’s hands shook as the wheels slid wide The edge was close No place to hide "Old man I hear you What do I do?" "Ease off that brake Let the tires pull through" [Prechorus] The CB crackled The night grew still The mountain waited for its kill [Chorus] "Breaker breaker slow it down The mountain’s teeth will pull you down Let off the Jake in the ice and snow Follow my voice I’ll guide you slow" The mountain knows your name tonight But it don’t care if you lose the fight
