The Canyon

Verse 1

Old dust

On the heavy dashboard

Gritty silver coins

The engine rattles like a cage of birds

Hungry birds

Watching for a sign

Left the kitchen light burning

I left the water running

I left my pride behind

Chorus

Take me out to the canyon floor

Where the river is a jagged line

Where the river is a jagged line

Cut me loose from the heavy door

I am yours and you are mine

I am yours and you are mine

Verse 2

Black ink

Stained on my knuckles

Heavy debt

The wind is pushing at the window pane

Cold rain

Washing out the tracks

I am tired of the waiting

I am tired of the hating

I am never looking back

Chorus

Take me out to the canyon floor

Where the river is a jagged line

Where the river is a jagged line

Cut me loose from the heavy door

I am yours and you are mine

I am yours and you are mine

Bridge

Maybe it was meant to break

Maybe it was meant to bend

Maybe it was meant to end

Before we hit the state line

FINAL Chorus

Take me out to the canyon floor

Where the river is a jagged line

Where the river is a jagged line

Cut me loose from the heavy door

I am yours and you are mine

I am yours and you are mine

Fade out
