Helena Montana Lyrics - Terry Allen

Hey he stumbled from some derelicts bar 

Throw out his hands and leaned on a car 

And pretty soon this girl come up to him 

Said, "Hey, how 'bout some fun now, slim?" 

Yeah, he stuck his hand in his pocket 

And he pulled out a bill 

He said, "I don't need no fun, little girl 

But I sure could use some pills" 

'Cause I been broke and I been throw 

I been bought and I been sold 

And Helena Montana 

Beats Hell in a city, gone cold 

And Calgary's like Calvary to me 

And Ft. Worth, it ain't worth a damn 

And Cheyenne, hell, she ain't shy at all 

But I'm damned sure gonna take my ride before I fall 

Yi, yi, yi, whoppi ti e yi 

Yi, yi, yi, whoppi ti e yi e oh 

There's a Montana midnight 

Under a moonlight, tonight 

And a Montana girl in the bed a-waiting 

For this tore down old body 

That ain't at all, all right 

But she knows he'll be back 

Sooner or later 

'Cause I been broke 

And I been throw, I been learned 

Damned, I should've knowed 

That Helena Montana 

Beats hell in a city gone cold 

Yi, yi, yi, whoppi ti e yi 

Yi, yi, yi, whoppi ti e yi e oh
