"And there'd be old men standing at the back of the crowd who seemed to remember America being born." Cody sang to me A song about the great Montana sky Cody sang to me And I could see Montana in his eyes And I could see Montana in his eyes Cody's hair is long And dirty as the rivers of L.A. Cody's mind is gone You never know just what he's gonna say No, you never know just what he's gonna say See him fall out on the road Oh, won't you go and help him on his way See him fall out on the road The forgotten son of some old yesterday
The forgotten son of some old yesterday Cody starts to tell How he led the wagons to the sea Cody starts to yell And he waves his gnarled hand to follow me And he waves his gnarled hand to follow me He's been living for so long Cody's begging please take me away He's been living for so long The forgotten son of some old yesterday Cody sang to me A song about the great Montana sky Cody sang to me And I could see Montana in his eyes I could see Montana I could see Montana in his eyes
