Well, we walked fast and we walked slow
We saw a bear and a buffalo
Dry grasses up to our knees
You said, have you been hearing about the bees?
I said, yes I have but that's all right
No one can stop the blue of the sky
To which you made a wordless reply
You reached the earth and you reached the sky
A handful of dirt and a handful of sky
You said
Let's keep it in a bottle
Let's keep it in a bottle
We found a flower
On top of the ridge
You said it looked like a natural bridge
You took a photo and you picked it too
You said it looks a little bit like you
You said
Let's keep it in a bottle
You said
Let's keep it in a bottle
Let's keep it in a bottle
Let's keep it in a bottle
Then the clouds laid a soft and purple glow
On the rock and the feather
And the cool of a new Montana rain
Claimed the weather
And the line of the ridge and the peak
Tied us together
Then the July sun hit the yellow hills
A soul connection is such a thrill
A hundred and two and there ain't no shade
My tiny shadow is a window pane
You said, the hills are dry and the hills are ripe
The hills can bring on a lifetime
So give it to me, give it to me now
Water from your well
Let's keep it in a bottle
Let's keep it in a bottle
Let's keep it in a bottle
Then the clouds laid a soft and purple glow
On the rock and the feather
And the cool of a new Montana rain
Claimed the weather
And the line of the ridge and the peak
Tied us together
