Words and music by bob seger



The other side of the mountain

Is where i want to be

It's a far piece over the mountain

But i hope you'll go with me



I grew up as a dreamer

I found that dreams aren't free

Now i want you here with me



I've lived so long near the mountain

It's almost part of me

I want to have it behind me

It blocks out all i can see

It looms up dark and ancient

Its shadow over me

I want it behind me



All that time, all that precious time

It's gone from you and me

We're givin' up this scene

We're givin' up this scene



Now some will say that we're destined

Some will call it fate

Me i call it obsession

It's just like love and hate

We're prisoners of our passion

We all seem to find too late

I hope it's not too late

We're givin' up this scene

Ah babe we're givin' up this scene



We're gettin' out

We're givin' up this scene

You and me baby

Yeah we're givin' up this scene
