[Verse 1] Sun set slow over old San Antone, Neon burned bright on River Walk stone. I saw you standin' alone at the end of the bar, So I tipped my hat, asked if I could sit where you are. [Pre‑Chorus] You were twirlin' your hair, orderin' rye, Boot‑heels tappin' out a give‑love‑a‑try. Your laugh rang out soft, melted years of ache, And your smile pulled me in with each breath I take. [Chorus] Now it's miles to Montana, hand on your knee, Front tire hummin' out a brand‑new melody. Fate hit the throttle, past every "what if," 'Cause the map says Harley and the heart says *this*. [Verse 2] Told you 'bout the wife I loved for twenty‑eight years, How the good Lord called her home and left me in tears. Said I'd welded my heart shut and buried the key, But you wrapped it in yours, locked it safe just for me." [Pre‑Chorus] From red‑dirt plains to Colorado snow, Every mile marker whispered "let it grow." [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] (soft—acoustic + steel) Ghosts in my mirror finally waved goodbye, As the Bitterroots painted your name in the sky. Pulled off the road where the wild rivers run, Built a cabin for two and a porch for the sun— [Chorus – big, full‑band] Those miles to Montana led me to you, Trad‑in' lone‑wolf blues for a mountain view. Found Heaven on Earth where the snow‑caps kiss, With a ring in my pocket and forever like this. [Tag Outro] (gentle, bring it back down) Yeah, miles to Montana—now the ride is through.
