I'm not smart enough for this life I've been livin',
G G/F# Em7 A
A little bit slow for the pace of the dream.

It's not I'm ungrateful for all I've been given
Em7 A G
But nevertheless, just the same...

I wish to my soul, I was back in Montana,
G G/F# Em7 A
High on my mountain and deep in the snow.

Up in my cabin, over the valley, Under the blankets with you

Oo - ---ver the ocean from here.( OHH, OOH,, OHHH Oh.)
Bm G Em7 A Bm Em9/B Em9/G A
Oo- --- ---ver the mountains from there( OHH, OOH,, OHHH Oh.)

But, who can imagine the scale of the forces that

Pushed this old mountain range up in the sky?
Bm Em9/A G Em9/A Em7 A D
Tectonic creation, erosion, mutation Somethin' to pleasure God's eye.

The world is a wonder of lightnin' and thunder,

And green of the ground as we fall from the sky.

One sits and waits while the other one wanders,
Em9 G7+ Em7 A
And squanders his time with a life on the road.
Em9/A Em G A
Down from the mountain, across the wide ocean,
Bm Em9 GA
The world is in motion and cannot be slowed.
D D/C# G/B A7/4
Enough for today... the demands of the moment,
G G/F# Em7 A
The thing on my mind is the work in my hand.
Bm Em9/A G Em9/A
Wood for the woodstove and water for coffee,
Em7 A G
Somethin' I can still understand.
D D/C# G/B A7/4
We got a few friends but not many neighbors,
G G/F# Em7 A
The trip into town takes us most of the day.

And after, "Hello", and "it's sure good to see you",
Em7 A D
It seems like there's nothin' to say
