montana (alt version) lyrics – owl city

a fifteen year old kid from st. paul
hopped on a train and headed west
got a job at a st. mary restaurant
washing dishes and making friends
the years went by like the seasons
and they brought him a lifetime of joy
he bought ten or twelve acres of heaven
and a paradise vantage point
and he built a cabin at the foot of the mountains
that stole his heart when he was a boy

on north fork road you’re almost home

get lost in montana
where your heart can finally roam
get lost in montana
where the mountains call you home
get lost forever…

his son worked hard in west glacier
his daughter sold souvenirs
and he always went back to polebridge
with his family every year
to his green tin roof in the rockies
and his sky so full of stars
his spirit lives in these mountains

get lost in montana
where your heart can finally roam
get lost in montana
where the mountains call you home
get lost forever…

where adventure calls your name
every moment is worth more than diamonds
when you spend time in the treasure state
so get lost in the big sky country

get lost in montana
where your heart can finally roam
get lost in montana
where the mountains call you home
get lost forever…
