Trippin' In Montana

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
