Mountain Standard Time

Pickin' our song in mountain standard time
Pickin' it good in mountain standard time
Hens in the henhouse pickin' up dough
Grab that pretty girl round you go
Gents to the center and form a star
Hays in the barn and cash in the jar
Back to the schoolhouse moon is high
Barley's good but the county's dry
Meet your honey and swing right back
Get her home in the wagon track
You know where I don't care
Set your lady in a rockin' chair
Fiddle's fine kickin' all night from delight
Mountain time

We come from Mission Mountain where the waters divide
Little short of breath boy it's a long ride
Got a clean shirt, jerky and a guitar lick
And the wind from Mission Mountailn for my bluegrass pick

We're pickin' our song in mountain standard time
Pickin' it good in mountain standard time
Hens in the henhouse pickin' up dough
Grab that pretty girl round you go
Gents to the center and form a star
Hays in the barn and cash in the jar
Back to the schoolhouse moon is high
Barley's good but the county's dry
Meet your honey and swing right back
Get her home in the wagon track
You know where I don't care
Set your lady in a rockin' chair
Fiddle's fine kickin' all night from delight

It was dusty up in Minot not a cloud in the sky
Couldn't find a breath boy in a hot July
Clear as honey just that plain
My cloud on Mission Mountain sent a bluegrass rain

Pickin' our song in mountain standard time
Movin' in the wind in mountain standard time
Hens in the henhouse pickin' up dough
Grab that pretty girl round you go
Gents to the center and form a star
Hays in the barn and cash in the jar
Back to the schoolhouse moon is high
Barley's good but the county's dry
Meet your honey and swing right back
Get her home in the wagon track
You know where I don't care
Set your lady in a rockin' chair
Fiddle's fine kickin' all night from delight

You go back to Mission Mountain from wherever you rove
Splittin' up kindling for the Monarch stove
And it's early April and your man alive
The wind from your own mountain knows a bluegrass dry

Pickin' our song in mountain standard time
Pickin' it good in mountain standard time
Hens in the henhouse pickin' up dough
Grab that pretty girl round you go
Gents to the center and form a star
Hays in the barn and cash in the jar
Back to the schoolhouse moon is high
Barley's good but the county's dry
Meet your honey and swing right back
Get her home in the wagon track
You know where I don't care
Set your lady in a rockin' chair
Fiddle's fine kickin' all night from delight
Mountain time
