Lariat of Pines (Montana)

Released On: 6-25-2026 Lyrics (Verse 1) I-90 bleeds into a charcoal sky Leaving the sirens and the gridlock behind Got a tank full of gas and a cracked-up screen Chasing the horizon through a haze of green My knuckles are white but my chest is loose Cutting the cords of a ten-year noose Two thousand miles from the coast and the grind To lose all the static that’s stuck in my mind (Chorus) Oh, Montana, lay your shadows down on me Wrap me up inside your lariat of pines Where the air is clear and the river turns to glass And I can finally leave my worries far behind (Verse 2) Five AM frost on the windshield glass Watching the shadows of the magpies pass You can buy up the land but you can't own the wind It bites to the bone, but it lets you begin The Rockies stand guard like an old jagged gate I left all my anchors at the edge of the state Drinking hot coffee from an old tin cup Watching the stars as the sun comes up (Chorus) Oh, Montana, lay your shadows down on me Wrap me up inside your lariat of pines Where the air is clear and the river turns to glass And I can finally leave my worries far behind (Bridge) They say the silence is loud out here But it’s the first time in months I can hear myself think No blinking lights, no panic, no race Just falling in love with a different pace (Chorus) Oh, Montana, lay your shadows down on me Wrap me up inside your lariat of pines Where the air is clear and the river turns to glass And I can finally leave my worries far behind (Outro) Lost in the pines... I'm finally home... Big sky, let me breathe.
