Up before the sunrise

It's a rocky road back home

The dust won't be near settled

As where we just come from

I'll keep my promise to you

Just like I said I would

And lay you 'neath the pecan trees

And hang your spurs for good

Say goodbye to montana

Where the northers always blow

The paint brush will be blummin'

By the time I get you home

We drove a herd from texas

To the big montana sky

I swear sometimes I wondered

If we make it here alive

I wish I could of told you

That you were my best friend

I guess you always knew that

But we were both to tough to bend

Say goodbye to montana

Where the northers always blow

The paint brush will be blummin'

By the time I get you home

All honor to the cowboy

Your praises they will sing

'Cause you never sold your saddle

And that's the most important thing

Adios montana

Where the northers always blow

The paint brush will be blummin

By the time I get you home
