Montana Green from Mill Creek by Mark Mitten

string the herd out & ride
across the long green plains
from the tall grass of texas
don't you cross the panhandle, my friend

down ol' butterfield stage
then up along the pecos
into new mexico
leave those holes of alkali behind

see the rain dark clouds
stretch along the horizon
feel the cold wind blow
feel it push you back again

up the goodnight-loving trail
all the way to denver
and on to cheyenne
and on, onto montana green

graze the herd and you're off
to the lights of town
hollow boot-steps sound
yeah the boardwalk leads the way

to a wash & a meal
take a drink & laugh again
spend every penny that you earn
in the bustle of a town you won't see again

but you will see...
