Wild Horizon

[Verse 1] Old fence posts rot in a field of clay,

Long black shadows crawl away.

We used to chase that summer flame,

Nothing I loved ever stayed the same.

Trees reach high where the storm clouds came,

Whispering time like a holy name.

[Pre-Chorus] Riverbed low where the lost years go,

Clock hands drag, but the days still flow.

[Chorus] Tires hum on the asphalt line,

Faded maps from another time.

Changing tides take what they claim,

Mountains fall, and the plains remain.

Calendar pages scatter and fly,

Every mile makes a new man rise.

Sinking sun burns the evening gold,

Wild horizon keeps calling me home.

[Instrumental] [Verse 2] Granddad’s ring in a cedar tray,

Garden rows gone wild with gray.

Rain keeps drumming on a rusted pail,

Willow bark curls like an old, torn tale.

Porch light flickers in the cold night air,

Memory moves like a whispered prayer.

[Pre-Chorus] Clock on the wall keeps a crooked beat,

Life gets picked like fruit gone sweet.

[Chorus] Tires hum on the asphalt line,

Faded maps from another time.

Changing tides take what they claim,

Mountains fall, and the plains remain.

Calendar pages scatter and fly,

Every mile makes a new man rise.

Sinking sun burns the evening gold,

Wild horizon keeps calling me home.

[Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Wash that red clay down the road,

Let that river take its load.

Seasons fade where the cold winds blow,

Yesterday waves from long ago.

Ash and ember, rain and stone,

Every goodbye cuts close to the bone.

[Final Chorus] Tires hum on the asphalt line,

Faded maps from another time.

Changing tides take what they claim,

Mountains fall, and the plains remain.

Calendar pages scatter and fly,

Every mile makes a new man rise.

Sinking sun burns the evening gold,

Wild horizon keeps calling me home.

[Outro] Old fence posts rot in a field of clay,

Long black shadows crawl away.

I keep rolling where the lost years roam,

Wild horizon keeps calling me home.
