Bear down you Texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run.

Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains.

A pendelum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze.

From the days way back before my time.

With a little child upon my knee

Singing every sweet word back to me.

To get back where I started from.

With a childs wisdom passin' time

I've run the race I've walked the wire,I paid the price of my desire

And the only time I've known it all, is just before I took a fall.

So howl you lone coyote song, fade to sapphire sky of dawn.

Count me in the lucky men, to send the world around again.
