Montana |
| I’m not smart enough for this life I’ve been livin' |
| A little bit slow for the pace of the dream |
| It’s not I’m ungrateful for all I’ve been given |
| But nevertheless, just the same |
| I wish to my soul I was back in Montana |
| High on my mountain and deep in the snow |
| Back in my cabin over the valley |
| And under the blankets with you |
| Over the ocean from here |
| Over the mountains from there |
| Who can imagine the scale of the forces |
| That pushed this old mountain range up in the sky? |
| Tectonic creation, erosion, mutation |
| Somethin' to pleasure God’s eye |
| The world is a wonder of lightnin' and thunder |
| And green of the ground as we fall from the sky |
| The old and new faces, the tribes and the races |
| Thousands of places to try |
| Over the ocean from here |
| Over the mountains from there |
| One sits and waits while the other one wanders |
| And squanders his time with a life on the road |
| Down from the mountain, across the wide ocean |
| The world is in motion and cannot be slowed |
| Enough for today… the demands of the moment |
| The thing on my mind is the work in my hand |
| Wood for the woodstove and water for coffee |
| Somethin' I can still understand |
| We got a few friends but not many neighbors |
| The trip into town takes us most of the day |
| And after, «Hello», and «it's sure good to see you» |
| It seems like there’s nothin' to say |
| Over the ocean from here |
