[00:02.29]
[00:07.30]He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain
[00:11.04]Wild geese over the water headin north and home again
[00:14.36]
[00:15.04]Bringin a warm wind from the south
[00:17.17]Bringin the first taste of the spring
[00:18.79]
[00:19.36]His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing
[00:22.98]
[00:24.29]Oh montana  give this child a home
[00:28.61]Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[00:32.54]Give him a fire in his heart  give him a light in his eyes
[00:36.54]Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[00:41.43]
[00:44.87]His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
[00:48.81]He never knew his father and he never did ask why
[00:52.25]
[00:52.81]He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
[00:56.68]But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
[01:00.44]
[01:02.06]His mothers brother took him in to family and his home
[01:05.93]Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
[01:10.06]And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
[01:13.81]And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
[01:17.37]
[01:19.00]Oh montana  give this child a home
[01:23.06]Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[01:26.93]Give him a fire in his heart  give him a light in his eyes
[01:30.69]Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[01:35.06]
[01:39.25]On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own
[01:43.13]He was 30 years and runnin when he found his way back home
[01:46.93]Ridin a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
[01:50.93]Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
[01:54.81]
[01:56.25]Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
[02:00.12]Some say he was a lawyer  some say he was a john
[02:04.25]There was somethin in the city that he said he couldn\'t breathe
[02:08.25]And there was somethin in the country that he said he couldn\'t leave
[02:11.81]
[02:12.37]Oh montana  give this child a home
[02:16.44]
[02:17.00]Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[02:21.00]Give him a fire in his heart  give him a light in his eyes
[02:24.31]
[02:24.87]Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[02:29.63]
[02:46.25]Now some say he was crazy and theyre glad that he is gone
[02:49.94]
[02:50.47]But some of us miss him and well try to carry on
[02:54.47]Giving a voice to the forest  giving a voice to the dawn
[02:57.65]
[02:58.33]Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
[03:02.52]
[03:03.83]Oh montana  give this child a home
[03:08.33]Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[03:12.63]Give him a fire in his heart  give him a light in his eyes
[03:16.38]Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[03:20.98]Oh montana  give this child a home
[03:24.42]Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[03:30.20]Give him a fire in his heart  give him a light in his eyes
[03:34.32]Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
