Thunder in the canyonUp a two-track roadThe kind that I been down a couple times beforeLate in the springJust below the timberlineI got stoned on a bottle of bluebird wineDown on the creekWhere the crystal water flowsI thought I saw my life in the melting snowThen I fell asleepFrom the sun of a midday heatAnd dreamt about the title I had wonNever been to heavenBut I've had one foot in HellSpent my share of nights in the county jailThey weren't too far behind meComing up aheadWas the memory of the sweetest thing she saidDown on the creekWhere the crystal water flowsI thought I saw my life in the melting snowThen I fell asleepFrom the sun of a midday heatDreamt about the title I had wonFastest gun aliveI've been wanted all of my lifeI can't change these things I've donePlease forgive my tears in the sunRaining on the mesaBut I can see the skyAnd the mountains that won't tell me the reason whyDown on the creekWhere the crystal water flowsI thought I saw my life in the melting snowThen I fell asleepFrom the sun of a midday heatAnd dreamt about the title I had wonFastest gun aliveI've been wanted all of my lifeI can't change these things I've donePlease forgive my tears in the sunLord, forgive my tears in the sun
