lyrics

I came to Montana to watch
mountain men climb swing set poles
And to finish up that novel
while I filled in all those gaping plot holes
Though life on the homestead had been mostly nice
Botching my first pot of Rocky Mountain red beans and rice
In that velvet-covered bear trap you had
caught my wandering soul

CHORUS:
Narcissus staring
into a frosty pool
Gypsy versus mountain man now
who would play the fool
He says that he needs no one
but can't stand to be alone
It's his way or the highway
but the highway is my home
It's his way or the highway
so I went back to my home
It's his way or the highway...

Though it seemed nigh impossible
to dampen our eternal flame
It didn't bother you it bothered me
when or where you came
The damage has been done now, I can't help but stew
Will I get over this before I get over you?
You demand evolution
but always stay the same

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I don't know how it happened
Were we too different to be apart?
Is against all odds just an incomplete
doomed from the start?

You've got your little piece of heaven
Well the rest of the world is mine
The drama isn't me dear
You're not happy if someone's not crying
Well you better treat 'em right now, cuz some of them are friends
But when it comes to me you'd be tough-pressed to make amends
And I will always be the one that
managed to escape your line

CHORUS

END
