  • Playin' a rodeo in Montana tonight
    She's two thousand miles away
    Says she loves me on the phone as she cries
    Wishes I'd come home to stay

    But I'm somewhere outside of Missoula
    They just called my name from the stage
    When we hung up she was talkin' leavin'
    Now how am I supposed to sing and play
    She's left me somewhere south of sanity
    Still just north of insane

    The show is over I tried twice to call her back
    But no answer either time
    My thoughts are racin' like a fast car 'round the track
    Ah, and I can't get her off my mind

    And I'm somewhere outside Albuquerque
    They just called my name from the stage
    When we last talked she was talkin' leavin'
    Now how am I supposed to sing and play
    She's left me somewhere south of sanity
    Still just north of
    Startin' to believe I might be losin' everything

    Still I'm somewhere outside Amarillo
    They just called my name from the stage
    When we last talked she was talkin' leavin'
    But I gotta show I gotta play
    Somewhere south of sanity
    Still just north of insane Writer/s: Carson Chamberlain, Mark Nesler, Zach Top
