lyrics

Stayed too long in Nashville drew my line in the hills
I waited for you in the Carolinas the mountains movin' still
you said you'll be waiting I gotta keep myself awake
keep my eyes on the open stretch and the miles that I make

I gotta get to Montana before the morning
slip through the rising sun in all it's glory

we're all living downstream from the fallen heartland
we're all eating corn from somebody else's hand
fill every inch of green 'til the gray is all we have

I Slept all night in a cafe round Cedar Bend
burned my words in the ashtray when I couldn't find a friend
made my way to Flagstaff through the Painted Desert sun
I was high on diesel and caffeine fumes the more I tried to run

I gotta get to Montana before the morning
slip through the rising sun in all it's glory

we're all living downstream from the fallen heartland
we're all eating corn from somebody else's hand
fill every inch of green 'til the gray is all we have

the fossils and the blueprints of those who were here before
decorum for our living rooms the tiles on our bathroom floors

I pressed tight to the thunder cobalt iron sky
danced barefoot with the open rain
'till the morning dried her eyes
I tried to sort the mystery in the blood of the Bozeman Trail
the path's of our history have paved life as frail

we're all living downstream from the fallen heartland
we're all eating corn from somebody else's hand
fill every inch of green with the seeds in your hands

I gotta get to Montana before the morning
slip through the rising sun in all it's glory.
