Recorded and produced by Theresa Peterson at Above the Meridian Studios in Missoula, Montana.

Lyrics by Theresa Peterson.

lyrics

You can really breathe there honey
The hills are so green
It rains enough for all the years of rain I hadn't seen
Driving through that big sky I have never felt more free
There are no rules in Montana
And so shall it be with me

Oh how do you fill the time when the sun won't go down
Remember how you said the long light lasts forever in this town
When I get where I'm going
I'm taking this with me
I'm telling anyone who'll hear it
What I've learned and what I've seen

Why anything turns out the way it does is still unclear
But there are no rules in Montana
And so shall it be here

Rained harder than expected
But I made it up to you
Sitting by that river
Felt too good to be true
So did spending next to nothing
In them swinging door saloons
If it's possible to be drunk and saved I felt it there with you

Everything we did that night would've broken all the rules
But there were none in Montana
And there was nothing else to do
And nothing left to lose

Tell me it's okay
Tell me it's all good
Tell me that I'll see
You again real soon

Baby there's no answers
Don't ask questions, it's no use
There are no rules
There are no rules
There are no rules
There are no rules
There are no rules in Montana
Yeah there are no rules
