Well, the old man called me to his dying bed 
There's only one thing in this world 
I like to see, he said 
I tried so many times but 
I've never done it 
Often made the climb but never reached the summit 
So I could look down on this pissant little town 
I took one step 
And another step 
But I could not reach that mountaintop 
I couldn't reach the mountaintop 
So I picked him up and put him on my back 
And strapped him in just like a hiking pack 
I took off up the hill at a steady pace 
I said: don't die on me now, we're gonna win this race 
So we can look down on this pissant little town 
I'll take one step 
And another step 
Til I reach that mountaintop 
I'm gonna reach the mountaintop
