Lyrics
"Mountain Escape" written by Jared Strayer
Money never seems enough, I spend more than I make
Got bills stacked higher than my head and I know I can't pay
All in all the things are good, the wife and kids are great
But I know that there's more to life and I can't catch a break
Sometimes I need to decompress, sometimes I need space
Now and then I talk to God and ask to show the way
Won't you show the way
Won't you show the way
The stars they shine so bright over mountains in the night
When the sun, finally goes down
The mountains strike a silhoutte through moonlight and cigarettes
In this, small Colorado town
The foothills keep me safe and warm and shaded through the world of storms
That we, live in these days
So I get lost and clear my head and hike around til' I forget
The things, I'm tryin' to escape
Tryin' to escape
Tryin' to escape
Some people have things figured out, at least that's how it seems
Through apps and filters on our phones, they're livin' such a dream
Why can't my life be like that? And they have everyting
It's easy to get caught up in a world of make believe
It's all make believe
It's all make believe
The stars they shine so bright over mountains in the night
When the sun, finally goes down
The mountains strike a silhoutte through moonlight and cigarettes
In this, small Colorado town
The foothills keep me safe and warm and shaded through the world of storms
That we, live in these days
So I get lost and clear my head and hike around til' I forget
The things, I'm tryin' to escape
Tryin' to escape
Tryin' to escape
The way the Aspens change in fall, the smell of Evergreen
A campsite in the Rockies next to a beautiful mountain stream
It's all so good for my soul, it's exactly what I need
But you in white in Keystone still the prettiest sight I seen
The stars they shine so bright over mountains in the night
When the sun, finally goes down
The mountains strike a silhoutte through moonlight and cigarettes
In this, small Colorado town
The foothills keep me safe and warm and shaded through the world of storms
That we, live in these days
So I get lost and clear my head and hike around til' I forget
The things, I'm tryin' to escape
Tryin' to escape
Tryin' to escape
