(John Denver)
2
He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain
3
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again
4
Bringin' a warm wind from the south, bringin'
5
the first taste of the spring
6
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing:
7
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
8
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
9
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
10
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
11
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
12
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
13
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
14
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
15
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
16
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
17
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
18
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
19
On the eve of his 21st birthday, he set out on his own
20
He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home
21
Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an achin' in his heart
22
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
23
Now he never told the story of the time that he was gone
24
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john
25
There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
26
There was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave
27
Now some say he was crazy and some are glad he's gone
28
But some of us will miss him and we'll try to carry on
29
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
30
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
