"Follow your dream!"

OR

"Don't quit your day job."

At some point everyone needs to make a choice...

The best you can do is be happy with what you've got.



A song about unrealized dreams and the "settling in"...



If you haven't ever used the nylon guitar RTs, you need to give them a try.
They are a big part of this production.
For this, I used a chunk of it as a "signature lick". Another area that some folks have stated "BIAB can't do". Not true.

MONTANA SUNSETS

i'm gonna be a cowboy
i'm american you know
where a boy can be what he chooses
and dreaming will make it so
but for now i'll do what the folks expect
say what they want me to say
but let it be known, until i'm grown
i'm living for the day (when i'll)

  watch montana sunsets
  talk with an indian guide
  square dance at a neighbor's ranch
  then hit the range and ride

i found someone who shares my dream
the circle t's in sight
i'm gonna be a cowboy
we'll sing prarie songs at night
but we can't leave things unfinished here
folks depend on us
but as soon as we get the loose ends to fit
it's montana or bust

  and we'll watch montana sunsets
  and talk with an indian guide
  we'll square dance at a neighbor's ranch
  then hit the range and ride

i was handy with a six gun
i could have scored in a rodeo
but sometimes things do come up
you know how these things go
we never made montana
but i still sometimes dream
of cattle drives and tumbleweed
of hearing eagles scream

  martha, bring my slippers
  bring my tv guide
  john wayne's on tonight
  he'll hit the range and ride

  the sun sets in montana
  where cowboys still reside
  it's late night in new york
  time to hit the range and ride...

pleasant dreams, martha.




Have at it.
