Twodot Montana

(album: Strong Stuff - 1983)

I bet you've been wondering why you ain't heard from me
And what kind of trouble I've gotten into
Well, just kiss all the babies and feed all the horses
And oh hell, I might as well tell it to you

I'm in Deer Lodge, Montana in the territory prison
They've got me for something that I didn't do
I've been framed for killing a dude down in Dillon
But babe, don't you worry, 'cause I always come through

I've climbed up the Rockies and swam down the Snake
I spent winters trapping in the Missouri Breaks
This ain't the first time I've been in a jam
I'm from Twodot, Montana and I don't give a damn

These walls are so old that it's easy to go
Right through the tunnel and out in the yard
There's just one more fence of the barbed wire and then
I'll be a free man but there's one more old guard

I see his gun and there's no way to run
But I've got to try, 'cause I can't live locked up
I feel the fire from that colt .45
And this high country cowboy just run out of luck

But I've climbed up the Rockies and swam down the Snake
I spent winters trapping in the Missouri Breaks
This ain't the first time I've been in a jam
I'm from Twodot, Montana and I don't give a damn

Yes, I've climbed up the Rockies and swam down the Snake
I spent winters trapping in the Missouri Breaks
This ain't the first time I've been in a jam
I'm from Twodot, Montana and I don't give a damn

Yes, I'm a Montana cowboy and I don't give a damn
