Up before the sunrise
It's a rocky road back home
The dust won't be near settled
As where we just come fromI'll keep my promise to you
Just like I said I would
And lay you 'neath the pecan trees
And hang your spurs for goodSay goodbye to Montana
Where the northers always blow
The paint brush will be blummin'
By the time I get you homeWe drove a herd from Texas
To the big Montana sky
I swear sometimes I wondered
If we make it here aliveI 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 bendSay goodbye to Montana
Where the northers always blow
The paint brush will be blummin'
By the time I get you homeAll honor to the cowboy
Your praises, they will sing
'Cause you never sold your saddle
And that's the most important thingAdios Montana
Where the northers always blow
The paint brush will be blummin
By the time I get you home
