This song appears on five albums, and was first released on the i want to live album, and has also been recorded on the earth songs, country cla**ics, the very best of john denver (single cd) an John denver collection - rocky mountain high albums. There are times i fear i lose myself I don't know who i am I get caught up in the struggle and the strain With my back against a stonewall My finger in the dam Losin' strength and goin' down again And i take a look around me My eyes can't find the sun There's nothing wild as far as i can see Then my heart turns to alaska And freedom on the run I can hear her spirit callin' me To the mountains, i can rest there To the rivers, i will be strong To the forest, i'll find peace there To the wild country, where i belong Oh, i know some times i worry On worldly ways and means And i can see the future k**ing me On a misbegotten highway Of prophecies and dreams A road to nowhere and eternity And i know it's just changes Yes, and mankind marchin' on I know we can't live in yesterday But compared to what we're losin' And what it means to me I'd give my life and throw the rest away To the mountains, i can rest there To the rivers, i will be strong To the forest, i'll find peace there To the wild country, where i belong To the wild country, where i belong Words and music by john denver
