Lyrics and translation

Original

Thunder in the canyon, up a two track road.

The kind that I've been down a couple times before.

Late in the spring, just below the timber line.

I got stoned on a bottle of bluebird wine.

Down on the creek, where the crystal water flows.

I thought I saw my life in the mountain snow.

Then I fell asleep from the sun of a midday heat.

Dreamt about the title I had won.

I've never been to heaven, but I've had one foot in hell.

Spent my share of nights in the county jail.

They weren't too far behind me, coming up ahead.

Was the memory of the sweetest thing she said.

Down on the creek, where the crystal water flows.

I thought I saw my life in the mountain snow.

Then I fell asleep from the sun of a midday heat.

Dreamed about the title I had won.

Fast as 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.

In the mountains that won't tell me the reason why.

Down on the creek, where the crystal water flows.

I thought I saw my life in the mountain snow.

Then I fell asleep from the sun of a midday heat.

Dreamt about the title I had won.

Fast as 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.

Lord forgive my tears in the sun.
