lyrics

so we're well into the 21st century
and all those open roads you used to love to drive
things are getting stranger

now you are the stranger, always, always
what is that weather moving in from the side
what is that substance rising
do you see it, it's there, it's right over there
in montana

you could drift for glacial ages, you could move downslope
you could move across nondescript valleys
and never see the real time operating on your mind
in montana

well you know i've got a little cabin
it's hidden way back
and i can sit on a slope and watch my entire life drift by
i can see my life edging in and out of the timber
in montana

and it seems to me after my seventh, maybe eighth glass
of whatever i'm drinking
there never was any real logic and rationality
you just kinda move from one moment to the next
in montana

and that was alright, you know,
but things got confused
seems like time always lags
in montana

and we're well into the 21st century
but i look around and i don't see it
in montana

the afternoon clouds are rising
the cumulus the size of cities
the only cities here
in montana

well that's some kind of something
look at the way the animals are scrambling
in and out of the trees
and the rivers that wind through
listen to that breeze
we've got the speckled trout
we've got the grizzly bears
we've got the wolves kinda running through
although they've been chasing down all sorts of things
and now they're getting chased down themselves
there's always this lag, time kinda lags, it lags
in montana

i'm still climbing
and i'm subliming
i'm looking in every direction
i'm looking up in the sky
in montana

(for jim pink)
