[Verse 1]
Well, northwest Montana can still make her cry
Too many long nights without him
And when Charles M. Russell gets to paintin' the sky
She's all alone in the shadows
Well, she's much too pretty for living alone
He's too stubborn for taming
He's ridin' the range at a camp with no phone
She's all alone in the shadows
[Chorus]
And the wind in the sage brush, it whispers him down
It whispers him down to his wintering ground
She knows the deep snow will soon bring him down
But she's gonna wait for her cowboy
[Verse 2]
Last time I saw her, I was workin' the bar
Got some good bars in Montana
I bought 'em a couple of rounds and they jumped in his car
They were gone in the blink of his taillights
[Chorus]
And the wind in the sage brush, it whispered him down
It whispered him down to his wintering ground
She knew the deep snow would soon bring him down
She's long gone with her cowboy
All for the love of a cowboy
