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
