Dave Stamey - Montana lyrics
When I was a kid the snow would drift high on the barn Before daylight broke, I'd be out with a bucket on my arm And the cattle would walk through the dark and the cold With steam in their breaths and ice on their coats The snow beneath my boots would glitter and squeak Over the bones of the buffalo buried so deep Montana My father gave me Montana No matter where I go it carries me When I look inside I see, Montana He took us up there where he said a man still had a chance To the alkali flats and the mud of a hard scrabled range My mother’s mouth got thin and hard And the sage grew up around the edge of the yard I learned how to cuss and how to spit like a man I learned the way dreams can slip through your hands Montana My father gave me Montana No matter where I go it carries me When I look inside I see, Montana Summers we'd wade in the ditch by the old county road And the birds would flutter and shriek from the telephone pole To the wind in the cottonwoods soft and gold We heard the ghosts of the Souix and the Crow So much left unsaid between Father and Son We packed up and left there in seventy one Montana My father gave me Montana No matter where I go it carries me When I look inside I see, Montana My father gave me Montana And though I am all I'll ever be Comes from this gift he gave to me Montana Montana |
