Liner Notes

Paul says: Children grow up, then choose their own paths. As parents, we're always hesitant (and frightened) to let go. Elizabeth Petty put those feelings into the lyrics for Montana Bound in honour of her son and his chosen destination.

Liz says: this is such a meaningful lyric for me as it is about our young adult son moving on by himself to a place he’s never been, no job, no housing lined up — so while I wish for his happiness and success I worry about all of the what ifs… I am so grateful to Paul for the tenderness and heartfelt feeling he brings to this to make it come alive in such a special way that is dear to my heart!

Lyrics

Heading out west, wanting frontier land
Following sunsets, running from plans
Leaving city lights, seeking mountain peeks
Chasing dark sky stars, reaching for dreams

He's Montana bound, moving away from crowds
Needing nature sounds, he's Montana bound
Leaving home to be found, breaking new ground
He's Montana bound
Montana bound

Looking for changes, exploring fresh starts
Pursuing wonder, filling his heart
Yearning for freedom, carving new paths
Pulling tangled roots, growing up fast

He's Montana bound, moving away from crowds
Needing nature sounds, he's Montana bound
Leaving home to be found, breaking new ground
He's Montana bound
Montana bound

He's moving on - I'm trying to let go
He's moving on - my heart is shouting "No!"
He's moving on - I'm needing to let go
He's moving on - as silent tears flow

He's Montana bound, moving away from crowds
Needing nature sounds, he's Montana bound
Leaving home to be found, breaking new ground
He's Montana bound
Montana bound
