Lyrics
My Montana Home
(Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI)
Small rivers and streams flow behind the home place
And spill into the mighty Missouri
As I look out my door towards the great western plains
There’s a sweet view that's been a home to me
Rolling hills and acres of tall prairie grass
Slope east of the Rockies divide
A hundred valleys so green 'neath the purple mountains
Water flows along either side
CHORUS
Oh my Montana home
Why oh why did I roam
From the prairies so wide
My dear little fireside
Oh my Montana home
Oh, I left my home and I set out to roam
Seeking fortune and some better life
And how could I know when I set out to go
City wind was as sharp as a knife
Tall buildings obscure every view of the sky
And the grey concrete hurts all my bones
Oh the bitter cold air brings tears to my eyes
And the way I feel always alone
CHORUS
Now I lie and I dream of my Montana home
Where the clean water flowed by our door
Where the endless blue sky was a feast for my eyes
And I swear I would stray never more
CHORUS
