Monster On Your Back Lyrics

Verse 1:
Listen up
I've rode this mountain seventy years I've been alive
Choked on rocks and rattlesnakes a wonder I've survived
Don't think I haven't had a bronc like you try me
Ev'rytime he thinks a monster is hidin' 'round a tree

Chorus 1:
Well the monster's on your back son better try to understand
The cowboy that you're fightin' now was born to this here land
One day you'll earn your scars and all the fearlessness you lack
Don't worry 'bout the things that you can't see
The monster's on your back

Verse 2:
Now hear this
I've rode through howlin' hell and wind and snow and rain
I am oblivious to misery and pain
That iron in your gizzard it will never go away
So long as you got work to do today

Chorus 2:
And there's a monster on your back son get your guts up off the trail
We got a job to do I promise we won't fail
One day you'll earn your scars and all the fearlessness you lack
Don't worry 'bout the that ornery Charlais bull
The monster's on your back

Bridge:
You think that if you buck me off that I won't get back on
You could stomp me in the ground and I'll be gone
You think that this old man ain't tough like he once used to be
Try me one more time and you will see

Final Chorus:
There's a monster on your back son better start to understand
The cowboy that you're fightin' now was born to this here land
One day you'll earn your scars and all the fearlessness you lack
'Til then you're gonna have to trust in me
The monster's on your back
