Wild Montana Skies lyrics

He was born in the bitter root valley

In the early morning rain

Wild geese over the water

Head north and home again

Bringing a warm wind from the south

Bringing the first taste of the spring

His mother took him to her breast, softly she did sing

Oooh Montana give this child a home

Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own

Give him a fire in his heart

Give him a light in his eyes

Give him the wild wind for a brother

And the wild Montana skies

His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry

He never knew his father and he never did ask why

And he never knew the answers that would make an easy way

But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way

His mother's brother took him in to his family

And his home

Gave him a hand that he could lean on

And a strength to call his own

And he learned to be a farmer

And he learned to love the land

And he learned to read the seasons

And he learned to make a stand

Oooh Montana give this child a home

Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own

Give him a fire in his heart

Give him a light in his eyes

Give him the wild wind for a brother

And the wild Montana skies

On the eve of his twenty-first birthday

He set out on his own

He was thirty years and running

When he found his way back home

Riding a storm across the mountains

And the aching in his heart

Said he came to turn the pages

And to make a brand new start

Now he never told the story

Of the time that he was gone

Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john

There was something in the city

That he said he couldn't breathe

There was something in the country

That he said he couldn't leave

Oooh Montana give this child a home

Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own

Give him a fire in his heart

Give him a light in his eyes

Give him the wild wind for a brother

And the wild Montana skies

Now some say he was crazy

Some are glad he's gone

Some of us will miss him,

But we'll try to carry on

Giving a voice to the forest

Giving a voice to the dawn

Giving a voice to the wilderness,

Und the land that he lived on

Oooh Montana give this child a home

Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own

Give him a fire in his heart

Give him a light in his eyes

Give him the wild wind for a brother

And the wild Montana skies

Oooh Montana give this child a home

Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own

Give him a fire in his heart

Give him a light in his eyes

Give him the wild wind for a brother

And the wiiiild Montana skies
