Northwest Montana can sure make her cry
Too many long nights without him
And when Charles M. Russell gets to paintin' the sky
She's all alone in the shadows
She's much too pretty for living alone
He's much too stubborn for taming
He's riding the range at a camp with no phone
She's all alone in the shadows
And the wind and the sage brush
Whispers him down
Whispers him down to his wintering ground
She knows the deep snow
Will soon bring him down
She's gonna wait for her cowboy
Well, the last time I saw her I was workin' the bar
Got some good bars in Montana
Bought them a couple of rounds, then they jumped in his car
They were gone in the wink of his taillights
And the wind and sage brush
Whispered him down
Whispered him down to his wintering ground
She knew the deep snow
Would soon bring him down
She's long gone with her cowboy
All for the love of a cowboy
Too many long nights without him
And when Charles M. Russell gets to paintin' the sky
She's all alone in the shadows
She's much too pretty for living alone
He's much too stubborn for taming
He's riding the range at a camp with no phone
She's all alone in the shadows
And the wind and the sage brush
Whispers him down
Whispers him down to his wintering ground
She knows the deep snow
Will soon bring him down
She's gonna wait for her cowboy
Well, the last time I saw her I was workin' the bar
Got some good bars in Montana
Bought them a couple of rounds, then they jumped in his car
They were gone in the wink of his taillights
And the wind and sage brush
Whispered him down
Whispered him down to his wintering ground
She knew the deep snow
Would soon bring him down
She's long gone with her cowboy
All for the love of a cowboy
