Had To Be There

Verse 1

I’ve seen Montana in the movies

heard it sung about in a song

I knew those skies were larger than life but man

til I stood under one

n’ saw those mountains looking in the mirror

on that lake oh what a picture

I swear heaven was touching earth

I had no words 

Chorus

you had to be there , to turn that water into glass

you had to be there cuz who else could paint rainbow rocks like that

I can’t see you but I see you everywhere

there ain’t no way it all fell out of thin air

you had to be there

Verse 2

I heard somewhere you’da done all that

even if it was just for me

and if this woman you sent wasn’t holding my hand

that’d be hard to believe

cuz she loves me like i’ve earned it

and we both know I don’t deserve it

and two sweet as their mama kids

how’d I get all this

Chorus

you had to be there

to turn her head like she turned mine

you had to be there

in that little church when her daddy gave me his whole life

I can’t see you but I see you when they say their bedtime prayers

there ain’t no way it all fell out of thin air

you had to be there

you had to be there

when I lost my faith in me

you had to be there, holding me, picking up every broken piece

I can’t see you but I see you

and you’ve made it pretty clear

there ain’t no way it all fell out of thin air

every right turn wrong turn step that got me here

you had to be there

you had to be there
