Whatcha Lookin' Fer

When summer fires can burn
a hundred miles of trees
and winter cold can lock
you into a deep freeze

What with all them rattlers
wolves and big grizzly bear
You might think it dang’rous 
to ever come out here

If you're looking for air
to breathe that's crisp and clean
See clear to the bottom 
of a cold running stream  

Want to find where God spreads
his brush ‘cross every view
and painted a sky so 
big he ran out of blue

If you're needing some room 
to spread, this is the place
You’ll ride fifty miles and
not see another face
 
A cowboy can still ride 
his hoss down the main street
and give a big howdy 
to anyone he meets

People are willing to 
give what help they can lend
So let me welcome you 
to 'The Treasure State' friend

Cause here in Montana 
you won’t meet a stranger
So there ain't no need to
worry about danger
