Walkin' Jim Stoltz Lone Lion Runs Lyrics

G C
1) On the high snow-topped mountain where the weathered
pinyon pine
G Em C D
Where the mountain winds are born and the eagles
feathers shines
G C
There's a creature crying in the night it echoes
through the hills,
G Em D G
He looks down at the valley's lights then turns back to
his kill.
C G Em
Chorus: Lone lion runs and the lone lion cries
C Am C D
He used to roam this whole land, but now he just gets
by.

C G Em
Lone lion runs and the lone lion cries.
C D G
Tomorrow the lone lion dies.
2) Well, he took it all in stride when the West he knew had died
He took to the lonesome places, swept there by the
tide.
He'd wonder at the sights of them sparklin' city lights
But when he saw what we had done he just cried out at
the night.
(Chorus)
3) Now the subdivisions knocking on the mountain's
every door
And lots of folks are going where they never walked
before.
The king's domain is shrinking like a cloud torn in the
sky,
The writings on the wall that's why you'll hear him
cry.
(Final Chorus)
