Thunder in the canyon

Up a two-track road

The kind that I been down a couple times before

Late in the spring

Just below the timberline

I got stoned on a bottle of bluebird wine
Refrain:
G A
Down on the creek
G D
Where the crystal water flows

I thought I saw my life in the melting snow

Then I fell asleep
G D
From the sun of a midday heat
G A D D
And dreamt about the title I had won
Verse 2:
D A
Never been to heaven
G D
But I've had one foot in Hell

Spent my share of nights in the county jail

They weren't too far behind me
G D
Coming up ahead
G A D
Was the memory of the sweetest thing she said

Down on the creek

Where the crystal water flows

Dreamt about the title I had won

Fastest gun alive

I've been wanted all of my life

I can't change these things I've done

Please forgive my tears in the sun

Raining on the mesa

But I can see the sky

And the mountains that won't tell me the reason why

Down on the creek
G D
Where the crystal water flows

I thought I saw my life in the melting snow

From the sun of a midday heat
G A D
And dreamt about the title I had won

I can't change these things I've done
