Well, I might be a lot of things, but I won't be ignored
When I see you coming, the chariots of the Lord
Well, the pale horses are riding, and the judgment day's at hand
And I'm waiting for the good Lord to take me by the hand

Hey Isaac, this is Spencer

Um . . . I'm calling about, uh, going to Montana
Um . . . so you need to give me a ring here
So we can work out some of those details and stuff
Because it could get kind of hairy or whatever
So, uh, give me a call
All right then, bye-bye

    General Comment:Isaac Brock was raised into religion. This guy could be a family friend and mean the religious spool or it is all just a joke. Everybody needs to knock it off about his drug problems. Not every song can be interpreted to be about drugs. Give this man some more credit.

    General Comment:good lord people. you give way too much credit to artists. not everything they put on an album has some deeper meaning. Sometimes lyrics just sound cool, sometimes you just get awesome messages from friends about taking a camping/road/tour/fishisng/whatever trip to Montana.

    General Comment:Somehow I don't think this is Spencer Moody... it doesn't sound like him, and on the album it says Spencer Mody, not Moody.

    General Comment:Why can't this song be about Montana? Just cause Isaac has a history of drug use does not mean every song is about drugs... Maybe he was really going with Spencer to Montana?

    General Comment:Spencer Moody is the singer of the band Murder City Devils and they could have done a gig in Missoula or Helena or some bigger city there, it is not about meth, you guys need to do some research before jumping to conclusions.

    General Comment:I never thought truckers atlas was about drugs but this message definitely changes my mind. "Going to Montana" in my mind is a clear euphemism for drugs.
    My groups code for using X substance was "burning cd's"....lets go burn some cd's!

    General Comment:oh shit... When it comes to the idea of religion, I don't like it personally. Anybody who feels certain there is (or isn't) a god is equally dogmatic. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, though. And yeah, I agree it's probably about ice. It's funny how "religious" ice makes some people. I know quite a few meth heads that can quote scripture frontwards and back and tell you all about their religious theories while sticking a needle in their arm. It's funny as hell really to see...
