Текст песни: Montana + перевод

When I was a kid the snow would drift high on the barn

Before daylight broke, I’d be out with a bucket on my arm

And the cattle would walk through the dark and the cold

With steam in their breaths and ice on their coats

The snow beneath my boots would glitter and squeak

Over the bones of the buffalo buried so deep

Montana

My father gave me Montana

No matter where I go it carries me

When I look inside I see, Montana

He took us up there where he said a man still had a chance

To the alkali flats and the mud of a hard scrabled range

My mother’s mouth got thin and hard

And the sage grew up around the edge of the yard

I learned how to cuss and how to spit like a man

I learned the way dreams can slip through your hands

Montana

My father gave me Montana

No matter where I go it carries me

When I look inside I see, Montana

Summers we’d wade in the ditch by the old county road

And the birds would flutter and shriek from the telephone pole

To the wind in the cottonwoods soft and gold

We heard the ghosts of the Souix and the Crow

So much left unsaid between Father and Son

We packed up and left there in seventy one

Montana

My father gave me Montana

No matter where I go it carries me

When I look inside I see,

Montana

My father gave me Montana

And though I am all I’ll ever be

Comes from this gift he gave to me

Montana

Montana
