(Capo to A)
G Bm C G
1) Way back in my younger days my daddy said to me,
G Bm C D
Take up life's wine and drink it, a better man you'll 
be
C Bm G Em
Go where the winds run wild and the spirits still prove 
true,
C D G
Go and walk in the track of the lion fore you're 
through.
C
Chorus: And if you wonder where I've been,
G Em
I'll be high in the mountain wind,
C D

I'll be walkin' in the track of the lion,
C Bm
Walkin' in the track of the lion,
C D G
Walkin' in the track of the lion once again.
2) I've taken the trail of the lone wolf, and I've 
walked it from time to time,
I've looked in the eyes of an eagle, faced a grizzly in 
his prime.
I guess you might say I'm too far gone,
You know there ain't no turning back,
Once you walk a mile of this life in the path of the 
lion's track.
(Chorus)
3) Some men like to gamble, some like to search for 
gold.
Some like boozin and losin', some like growing old.
But treasures where you find it, it's all in your eye,
Next time you're feelin' poor, try a mountain on for 
size.
(Chorus)
