Across that
wide Montana plain
beneath a big blue
sky
My pony never
stumbled, we ran
before the wind
When we crossed
that empty plain,
we'd cross it once
again
chorus
Montana
Memories
Come to me like
echoes on a breeze
Montana
Memories
Or are they just
my old Montana
dreams?
2.
We'd round up
the herd and build
a big camp fire
Cut a dogie
from the herd and
brand him with an
iron
Late at night
we'd sit around
that warm fire and
sing
I'd climb into
my bedroll, dream
what daylight
would bring
chorus
3.
I would go for
rides, look for
outlaw sign or
bear
Just 'cause you
couldn't see them
didn't mean they
weren't there
I could track
and I could shoot
an arrow or a gun
And not run out
of ammo until the
fight was won
chorus
coda
Are they just my
old Montana
dreams?
"'Montana
Memories'
was the title
to an article
in a Sunday
newspaper
magazine. I
pulled it out
for future
inspiration,
but never
read it. One morning,
the entire
song came to
me while I was
driving to
work. It's my
'Zen cowboy'
song.
Years later, a local
writers group
made
suggestions to
revise the
lyrics. The
revised words
are shown in
the lyrics but
aren't heard
in the demo."
