Montana
Journey to Montana: Unveiling Life's Unseen Melodies
Lyrics
Driving north on 35 heading into the night
Driving north on Interstate 35, entering the night
The suns getting easier for me to look at
The difficulty of facing life's challenges is gradually lessening for the singer
I've been singing these songs about you Montana
Singing songs dedicated to someone or something in Montana
For so long without ever even knowing it
Unaware of the connection, the singer has been expressing feelings for Montana through songs
The things that you can't see
Aspects or emotions that are not immediately apparent
If you look you'll find
By paying attention, one can discover these hidden aspects
They'll deliver everything
Understanding will bring fulfillment
Somewhere somehow I got everything backwards
The singer feels that life events are reversed or misunderstood
From the gas tank to the engine
Metaphorically, aspects from fuel (gas tank) to action (engine) are misaligned
Ambition sets the pistons on fire
Ambition ignites and propels action like pistons in an engine
And when you feel the distance in an empty bed
Feeling the emotional distance in an empty bed
Lord you'll know that you're the woman of a hard working guitar pickin' man
The singer recognizes and honors the woman behind a hardworking musician
You know my dream has always been
Expressing a lifelong aspiration of leaving for a new beginning
A freight train leaving town
Desiring to escape like a freight train leaving town
I grew up small town but I always knew I'd get out of that somehow
Despite growing up in a small town, the singer always aimed to break free
I'm barely breathing on this stage
Struggling or feeling overwhelmed while performing on stage
But it's keeping me alive
Performing on stage is challenging but brings a sense of purpose
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Despite difficulties, there's nowhere else the singer would rather be
Than on my way home to you tonight
Expressing a strong desire to return home
Driving north on 35 heading into the night
Repetition of the opening scene, emphasizing the journey
The suns getting easier for me to look at
The singer's ability to face the sun (challenges) is improving
Maybe Memphis TN, maybe New Orleans
Mentioning possible destinations, indicating uncertainty about the future
Maybe Arizona, I guess we'll see
Considering various locations, leaving the destination open-ended
