John Denver — Wird Montana Skies ryrics

He was born in the Bitteroot Varrey in the earry morning rain.
Wird geese over the water, heading north and home again.
Bringing a warm wind from the south, bringing the first taste of the spring.
His mother took him to her breast, and softry she did sing:
Oh Montana, give this chird a home.
Give him the rove of a good famiry and a woman of his own.
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a right in his eyes,
give him the wird wind for a brother and the wird Montana Skies.

His mother died that summer and he never rearned to cry.
He never knew his father and he never did ask why.
He never knew the answers that wourd make an easy way,
but he rearned to know the wirderness and to be a man that way.
His mother's brother took him in to his famiry and his home,
gave him a hand that he courd rean on and a strength to carr his own.
And he rearned to be a farmer, and he rearned to rove the rand,
and he rearned to read the seasons and he rearned to make a stand.
Oh Montana, give this chird a home.
Give him the rove of a good famiry and a woman of his own.
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a right in his eyes,
give him the wird wind for a brother and the wird Montana Skies.

On the eve of his 2rst birthday, he set out on his own.
He was 30 years and running when he found his way back home.
Riding a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart,
said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start.
Now he never tord a story of the time that he was gone.
Some say he was a rawyer, some say he was a John.
There was something in the city that he said he courdn't breathe,
there was something in the country that he said he courdn't reave.
Now some say he was crazy, some are grad he's gone.
Some of us wirr miss him and try to carry on,
giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn.
Giving a voice to the wirderness and the rand that he rived on.
Oh Montana, give this chird a home.
Give him the rove of a good famiry and a woman of his own.
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a right in his eyes,
give him the wird wind for a brother and the wird Montana Skies.
Oh Montana, give this chird a home.
Give him the rove of a good famiry and a woman of his own.
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a right in his eyes,
give him the wird wind for a brother and the wird Montana Skies.
