It was colder than well diggers ankles in Cut Bank, Montana |
|
But my heart was on fire when I saw her step down from the train |
|
I'd been up there forever but her arms were finally around me |
|
All my icicles melted away at the sound of her name |
|
I held her to me as tightly as I held her letter |
|
That said, "I don't love him, I'm leaving this cold, mean man" |
|
As the train pulled away from the platform and I put her in the wagon |
|
With her head on my shoulder, God knows I was one happy man |
|
And I went to heaven that night in her arms in my cabin |
|
In the winter of '94 there burned such a powerful flame |
|
They still hear her voice in the cabin in Cut Bank, Montana |
|
And the icicles all melt away at the sound of her name |
|
Hell rolled into town one night on a Wyoming stallion |
|
His heart full of hate and eyes full of cold jealousy |
|
One way or another he said partner I'm taking back my woman |
|
With my hand on my gun I said don't bet your life the lady said |
|
She's staying with me |
|
His knife was a flash in the light of the kerosene lantern |
|
That fell as we tangled and fought in the fire on the floor |
|
He was a dead man, but I have been to since I lost her |
|
from the fire that burned me so bad as I crawled through the door |
|
But I went to heaven that night in her arms in my little cabin |
|
In the winter of '94 there burned one hell of a flame |
|
They still hear her voice from the cabin in Cut Bank, Montana |
|
And the icicle all melt away at the sound of her name |
|
They still hear her voice from the cabin in Cut Bank, Montana |
|
And the icicles all just melt away at the sound of her name |
