Verse--
The world out there is big and round,
Keeps on turnin? while I fall down.
Tumblin? around like a tumble weed,
Til the wind puts me back on my feet.

Verse--
My friends are always actin? dumb,
When they see me out there havin? fun.
They think I?m crazy but I don?t care
Cause I know I?m really goin? somewhere.

Chorus--
Give me the blue sky of Montana.
Give me the sunset of Idaho.
I wanna dance to the music of the river,
On the banks of the Colorado.

Verse--
My mom and dad have grown apart,
They?re both tryin? to make a new start.
Bein? in love is scary you see,
Cause I don?t want that to happen to me.

Verse--
So I go to school to learn a trade,
But my head is stirrin? like a scrambled egg.
So many things they all want me to be,
But right now I just wanna be free.

Bridge--
I wanna howl at the moon,
Climb the trees,
Charm the bees,
Would you please--

Chorus--
Give me the blue sky of Montana.
Give me the sunset of Idaho.
I wanna dance to the music of the river,
On the banks of the Colorado.

Bridge--
I wanna howl at the moon,
Climb the trees,
Charm the bees,
Would you please--

Chorus--
Give me the blue sky of Montana.
Give me the sunset of Idaho.
I wanna dance to the music of the river,
On the banks of the Colorado.
On the banks of the Colorado.
On the banks of the Colorado.
