It was a beautiful sunny morning, so we went for a drive
Hacked up in the mountains and we lost track of time
A kissing and a hugging, never saw the sun go down
I said "Baby we're lost" and she proceeded to freak out
So I said

Baby, baby, don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
And that coyote howls and the grizzly bear he growls
I can get you through the night, oh yes, I can
I'm a mountain man

I gave her a little hug, I said "There's no need to cry"
I used to be a beaver scout all I need is this Buck knife
I can carve a hook, pull fish from a brook and I bang on with a gun
Except tonight I don't really have one, and well, that's half the fun
Awe, you know I'm only kidding Hun

Baby, baby, don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I know you're a city girl, but if you had to you could eat a squirrel
Yeah I'd cook him up just right, you know I can
I'm a mountain man

We could pick berries in the moonlight
'Cause I know which ones to eat
How to recognize poison ivy
Should you go looking for leaves

Baby, baby, don't panic
I'm a mountain man

Baby, baby, don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I can bugle an elk, I can rattle a deer, I can grow you a big ol' bushy beard
And live up here all year and never go back
Yeah, I'm a mountain man
A man with a plan
You're in good hands
Yeah, I'm your mountain man

Awe, don't cry honey, It's all gonna' be alright
