[Verse 1]
I think about those better days
I didn't know these evil ways
Love and hate and jealousy
Came and got the best of me
Late at night I lie in bed
And fight the fight inside my head
I think it's time to put it down
Get myself back on the ground

[Chorus]
Oh no
Oh no
This ain't what I came here for
I'm goin' up on the mountain
Up on the hill
Lay down by the river
Let the water be still
I'll open my eyes
And see what I see
I got to find out
What is you
And what is me

[Verse 2]
I used to know how to feel
Somethin tells me this ain't real
On the phone ain't nothing said
It's off the hook the line is dead
Things you want the things you need
I ain't got and ain't guaranteed
I'm breaking loose it's buildin up
And I can't leave here soon enough

[Chorus]
Oh no
Oh no
This ain't what I came here for
I'm goin' up on the mountain
Up on the hill
Lay down by the river
Let the water be still
I'll open my eyes
And see what I see
I got to find out
What is you
And what is me

Oh no
Oh no
This ain't what I came here for
I'm goin' up on the mountain
Up on the hill
Lay down by the river
Let the water be still
I'll open my eyes
And see what I see
I got to find out
What is you
And what is me

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
