We took a trip north to Montana in the summer
Oh we waited for the snow to melt again
I found my place there among all the sinners
Oh they smiled at me, and they treated me like a friend
And in the pale moonlight I saw you go running
For the crowd that danced in a plume of smoke through the night
Oh something felt right when that string band started playing
Oh my hair stood up and I felt just like a child
There she goes in the tall grass getting high
I wish that I could lay with her and touch the sky
I've waited so long for a chance to just feel alright
And I'm sorry for the mess we made tonight
I felt so humbled as I stood there by the mountain
I watched the waterfall creating brand new life
I thought of you and how your old heart had grown weary
And how you must have felt when you saw it with your eyes
I play my songs in smoke filled bars and taverns
But I long to howl at the moon out in the wild
I watch the daylight say farewell beyond the peaks
So I lay under the stars just for a while
There she goes in the tall grass getting high
I wish that I could lay with her and touch the sky
I've waited so long for a chance to just feel alright
And I'm sorry for the mess we made tonight
