Lyrics
High on a mountain, in western Montana
A silhouette moves, 'cross a cinnamon sky
Riding alone, on a horse, he called Music
With a song on his lips, and a tear, in his eye
And he dreams of a time, and a lady, that loved him
And how he would sing, her sweet lullabies
But we don't ever ask him
And he never, talks about her
I guess it's better, to just let it slide
But he sang, "Ooo" to the ladies
"Ooo", he made some sigh
Now, he rides away, on a horse, he called Music
The pain, in his heart, and a tear, in his eye
And he rode the Music, from Boston, to Bozeman
Not too much money, way too much ride
Those were the days, when a horse, he called Music
Jumped to the moon, and sailed across the sky
Now, all that's left, is a time worn old cowboy
With nothin' more than the sweet, by-and-by
Trailing along, is a horse with no rider
A horse he called memories, that she used to ride
And he sang, "Ooo" to the ladies
And, "Ooo", made 'em damn near lay down and die
Now he rides away, on a horse he called Music
With a pain, in his heart, and a tear, in his eyes
High on a mountain, in western Montana
Two crosses cut, through a cinnamon sky
Marking the place, where a horse he called Music
Lays with a cowboy, in the sweet, by and by
