Mountain mornings, mountain laurel
Pictures of life  slowly fading away
Rocking chair rhythm, waltz time livin'
Said 'you know I was a lot like you in my day
In my young days

I remember, this old woman
Her name was Amazing but they all called her May
She came from East Kentucky to old California
She told me stories bout her younger days
In my young days

In my young days just try and catch me
Burrs in my hair, skin off my knees
They hushed and they scolded, said 'lordy have mercy'
But most of the time they just let me be
In my young days

Four walls around me did not contain me
But I don't get around much, can't shake these old bones
Still I once bet my body big dozer would turn back
And I set a few jackrocks for old Mother Jones
In my young days

I still see you, I won't forget you
Daydreams awake a  sweet memory
You smiled and you nodded when I told you my secret
How I flew with an eagle across the great sea
In my young days
