Walkin' Jim Stoltz Walkin' In The Track Of The Lion Lyrics

(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)
