Montana Songtext
von Henry Mansfield

Montana
This is the last time
Gather everything we′re owed and we'll be gone
Montana
Look out the window
At the shadows getting long in setting sun

Follow them past town
Into the deep frown
Of the cornfield rut we used to run
I promised you my share we′d never go back there
But I'd do anything
To see Mom and Dad again, so

Let's go home, it′s been too long
Don′t know what we are but I know it's gone wrong
Let′s go home, let's finish strong
Could we learn tonight what we know each dawn?


Montana
Where are you going?
If you need to talk, why can′t you talk to me?
Montana
You know I couldn't stop you
If you leave me with the screen door swinging
Doppler sirens
Blue all around red - the ocean and hot lead
What comfort would, "I told you so," be
Thrown at your memory?
Cut in the old tree
Yeah, I′d do anything just to keep you there with me

Let's go home, it's been too long
Don′t know what we are but I know it′s gone wrong
Let's go home, let′s finish strong
Could we learn tonight what we know each dawn?

Now the streetlights
Fight the moon's light for monopolies on who′s seen more

Don't walk away
Remember we swore
We′d always get out of here
But you'd rather stay
Stay breaking bottles
And searching the splinters for signs

What's got the best of you?
Poisoned your point of view?
We could still make it through
But I think I′m losing you

Montana
Guess I′ve got an answer
Give me all the time you can and I'll be gone
