Cold Canyon

Travel around 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
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
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

Oh Lord, Lord
Take me, 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
