E 
A dually diesel pullin hard with a horse trailer in tow 
Montana side of sweet grass and I'm headed home  
A 
Trophy buckles and whiskey bottles and a worn out saddle horn  
E 
Bareback riders and teamropers, huskin taber corn  
 B7 
The roads get better every time I cross north of forty nine  
E 
Well I tip my hat and it's good to be back across the medicine line

Too much oil money, not enough booze

East of the rockies and west of the rest
