Upchurch - Mohican lyrics
[Upchurch - Mohican lyrics]
Dear man
(Dear man) in the woods (In the woods)
The one with the silhouette
Covering up the moon why you here
(Why you here)
Ain't you cold (Ain't you cold)
You know the television man said
It's 'bout 20 below why won't you budge
(Why won't you budge) or talk to me from afar
But as soon as I spoke
He disappeared in the dark
Mohican, the last Mohican, the last Mohican
So one night me and a couple my buddies
Were cruisin' these roads that
We never have seen
Still in Cheatham County this is back when
I was just turnin' 'bout 17
Yeah we went to a party and ended up leavin'
'Cause word had it cops were
Already on the route
Had a ounce of grass in my toolbox
So we went down a patch
Where there wasn't any houses
Pulled over with the dome light
Glean of smoke rollin' out
Of that stock Ranger
Suddenly my spine felt a sense of danger
And I turnt around and seen a black figure
7 feet tall with a trench coat
Long beard lookin' like a lumberjack
Slowly comin' out the smokey woods
With a heavy axe and a solid hat
Dear man
(Dear man) in the woods (In the woods)
The one with the silhouette
Covering up the moon why you here
(Why you here)
Ain't you cold (Ain't you cold)
You know the television man said
It's 'bout 20 below why won't you budge
(Why won't you budge) or talk to me from afar
But as soon as I spoke
He disappeared in the dark
Mohican, the last Mohican, the last Mohican
I was frozen solid by what I was seein'
Sam in the truck, yellin' fuck it let's leave
My body was paralyzed, tongue couldn't speak
And I fell in the mud when
I dropped to my knees i just seen a ghost
Something I don't believe in
I just heard some words that
Weren't coming from me
He said you on my land but
This road has no resident
Then he said I've been here since 1870
I'm stuck in this world 'cause
I haven't been heavenly
Lurkin' these trees, yes I'm kinda devilish
Quit walkin' the woods at
The witchin' time boy
You shouldn't be here so
Don't make me annoyed i jumped in my truck
You know I wasn't stayin'
But sometimes I wonder
You know what I'm sayin'
I wish I woulda got to talk to the man
Who didn't exist in my rearview mirror
Dear man
(Dear man) in the woods (In the woods)
The one with the silhouette
Covering up the moon why you here
(Why you here)
Ain't you cold (Ain't you cold)
You know the television man said
It's 'bout 20 below why won't you budge
(Why won't you budge) or talk to me from afar
But as soon as I spoke
He disappeared in the dark
Mohican, the last Mohican, the last Mohican
Dear man in the woods I wish I got a name
So I could understand some of your pain
Like why'd you emerge on me late that night
I've been thinkin' 'bout that for
Like 10 years now
Still cruise that backroad just to
See if you're here
But all that I see is some white tail deer
Hell maybe you saved me
If you did I'm sincere
From yours truly, that really scared kid
The last Mohican the last Mohican
The last Mohican the last Mohican
(Dear man) in the woods (In the woods)
The one with the silhouette
Covering up the moon why you here
(Why you here)
Ain't you cold (Ain't you cold)
You know the television man said
It's 'bout 20 below why won't you budge
(Why won't you budge) or talk to me from afar
But as soon as I spoke

Mohican, the last Mohican, the last Mohican
So one night me and a couple my buddies
