Cold Canyon

Travel 'round the country

Look out for what I can get

Another blessed highway

Hey mister you're gonna regret

'Cause you just reminded me of something

I long to forget

But no matter how much he drink or smoke

My memory's still clear

It hurts me dear

It's sharp today like it was yesterday

No I don't have much hope

Just the other night I came

Face to face with my past

Came down like a lightning bolt

Struck me with a flash

I was praying all along

That it would not last

Oh stop it stop it stop it stop it

Y'know the last time you rang

I nearly died I almost cried

I put my pride in my pockets

And said you gotta stay cool cool cool

Y'know some things just gotta hang

Oh Lord Lord

Take me back

I'm going back

The long track

So do yourself a favor

And leave me if you please

I'm in a cold cold canyon

With a cold cold canyon breeze

Woke up in a strange room

And then I saw a door

I went right over and opened it

Though I'd never been there before

Started presiding over the meeting

The chairman said I had the floor

And when we adjourned everyone

was satisfied

We all got our money

Then went out where it was sunny

But it was kind of funny

To find out that I was such a dummy

But there's no place you can really hide
