Intro :
I 'm not smart enough for this life I 've been livin'
A lit tle bit slow for t he pace of th e dream.
I t's not I'm ungratef ul for all I've been given;
But ne verthel ess just the same ...
I wish to my soul I was back in Montana
High on my mountain and deep in the sno w.
U p in my cabi n over the vall ey Unde r the blanket s wi th you
O o - - -ve r the ocean fro m here.( OHH O OH OHHH Oh)
O o- - - - -ve r the mountai ns from there( OHH OOH OHHH Oh)
But who can imagine the scale of the forces that
P ushed this old mountain range up in the s ky?
T ectonic cre ation ero sion mutat ion; Somethin' to pleasure God's eye.
The world is a wonder of lightnin' an d thunder
And green of the ground as we f all from the sk y.
The old and new fa ces the trib es and the races...
T housands of places to try..

( OHH OOH OHHH Oh)
there( OHH OOH OHHH
Oh)
O ne sits and wai ts wh ile the other one wanders
And squand ers his time w ith a life on the road.
D own from the mountain across the wide ocean
The world is in motion an d cannot be slow ed.
E nough for today... the dema nds of the moment
The thing o n my mind is th e work in my ha nd.
W ood for the woodstove a nd water for coffee
Som ethin' I can s till und erst and.
W e got a few friends but not many neighbors
The trip into town t akes us most of t he day.
A nd after "Hello " and "it's sure good to see you"
It seems like ther e's nothin' to say
O o - - - - - - --ver the oc ean from here.
