Mountains O' Things - Tracy Chapman tribute - Lyrics

Discover the lyrics of Mountains O' Things, the song made famous by Tracy Chapman
Writers: Tracy L Chapman
Publishers: Emi Music Publishing France

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
And mountains Oh mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains Oh mountains o' things

Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth

Oh they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
.........

Complete lyrics of Mountains O Things:

[noelgibson]

The message of the song resonates with me in a genuine way. Avoid excess, gluttony and greed.
I live in a modest apartment and have enough money to cover life's everyday expenses. I ride a pushbike to work. I don't drink alcohol or own a car. Because I have very little, I have very little to worry about. I instead enjoy good health and have family and friends nearby.
Do multibillionaires ever look happy? Do their marriages ever last? Nupp.
When you have good health, everything else in life takes care of itself. When you pass on, your Rolls Royce, mansion and millions won't come with you.
The way I live is incredibly liberating. I'm in perfect mental, physical, emotional and financial health.
