Trippin' In Montana - Live At Tipitina's

HE WAS TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

ON A COLD DARK PATH

HE WAS LOOKING FOR SALVATION

AND A HOT CLEAN BATH

LEFT A BLOODY SITUATION

BUT HE WAS NOT TO BLAME

LIKE THAT RUN-IN WITH THE AGENT

WHO PROMISED GOLD AND INSTANT FAME

HE HAD A WAY TO LOOK IMPORTANT

FOOLED EVERYONE AROUND

LIKE HOW HE HELD HIS SHOULDERS

AND HE ALWAYS STOOD HIS GROUND

THEY USED TO SAY HE LOOKED LIKE JESUS

AND THAT REALLY FRIGHTENED HIM

CHANGED HIS FACE IN AMARILLO

JUST TO CLEAR HIS NAME FROM SIN

HE WENT TRIPPIN', TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

LIKE THE GOOD BOOK SAID

(HE/THEY) WENT TRIPPIN', TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

LIVING THE WORDS THAT HE READ

YOU HEARD HIM TALK ABOUT THIS GOOD PLACE

WHERE ALL YOUR MEMORIES ARE SAFE

YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND FORGIVENESS

AND UGLY DUCKS WILL FLY WITH GRACE

TRAIL YOUR WAY UP THIS MOUNTAIN

TO THE KINGDOM OF THE SAINTS

THERE'S A BANQUET IN THE ROCKIES

THAT YOUR HOLY MAN ARRANGED

HE LIT ‘EM UP OUT OF THE DARKNESS

BEFORE THE DEMONS TOOK THE STAGE

THEY MADE A PERFECT CIRCLE

AND ACTED OUT HIS HOLY RAGE

TOUCHED THEIR HEARTS WITH CONVICTION

AND HE MADE THEM UNDERSTAND

HE HELD THEM UP WITH ALL HIS COURAGE

AND CUT THEM DOWN WITH HIS LEFT HAND

HE WENT TRIPPIN', TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

LIKE THE GOOD BOOK SAID

(HE/THEY) WENT TRIPPIN', TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

LIVING THE WORDS THAT HE READ

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

IT WAS A HOPELESS SITUATION

WE ALL KNEW IT HAD TO END

BOW YOUR HEAD AND SEEK SALVATION

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LOSE YOUR HEAD

FIFTEEN MEN DOWN IN THIS CANYON

BREAKING BREAD WITH ALL THE GODS

ONE MAN STANDING OUTSIDE BOZEMAN

FLICKED HIS JOINT AND BROKE THE ODDS

HE WENT TRIPPIN', TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

LIKE THE GOOD BOOK SAID

(HE/THEY) WENT TRIPPIN', TRIPPIN' IN MONTANA

LIVING THE WORDS THAT HE READ
