Montana’s Only A Dream Away

[Verse 1]
Long day, small town TV glow
Kick my boots off, radio low
Close my eyes and I’m gone from here
To a place I’ve never been, but it feels so near
[Chorus]
Montana’s only a dream away
Every time that I drift I go there to stay
Snow on the pines and the moon on her face
Little wood cabin, our hiding place
Rocking chair creaks while the stars just sway
Montana’s only a dream away
[Verse 2]
She’s on the porch in a worn wool coat
Steam from her cup makes a silver ghost
Hands wrapped ‘round that cocoa mug
Like she’s holding on to more than heat and love
[Chorus]
Montana’s only a dream away
Every time that I drift I go there to stay
Snow on the pines and the moon on her face
Little wood cabin, our hiding place
Rocking chair creaks while the stars just sway
Montana’s only a dream away
[Bridge]
Then morning breaks through the blinds again
Just my cold hands and an empty bed
So I chase the clock till the end of the day
Close my eyes, let her carry me away (hey)
[Chorus]
Montana’s only a dream away
Where the night keeps her close and the world fades gray
Snow on the pines and her laugh in the dark
Hot chocolate kiss and a borrowed heart
Till I see her again, I’ll just wait and pray
Montana’s only a dream away

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle picked acoustic guitar and soft brushes on snare. Subtle pedal steel glides under the melody, organ pad blooms in the chorus. Intimate verse storytelling, then a wide, starry chorus with stacked harmonies. Final chorus pulls back to almost a whisper, then one last soft guitar tag.
