Well I live in the canyon,
Where the old coyotes howl,
And they come down from the mountains
When the dogs begin to growl,
And they meet up in the darkness,
Where they fight until the death.
When the morning sun is rising, I will bury who they left.
And oh, they call me Canyon Joe.
And I stay in the cabin
Where I work my hands to bleed.
Swing the hammer to the nail,
And I swing the axe onto the tree.
And I once cleared these woods,
-yeah there used to be a path,
And now the trees have overgrown just to prove that nothing lasts.
And oh, they call me Canyon Joe.
The old man that went crazy,
He lives high up on the ridge.
He used to tell me all the stories
Of the church house and the bridge.
But the bridge, she washed away,
Yes, and the church house- it got burned,
'Cause this world has gone angry, and some people never learn.
And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
And I once loved a woman,
Georgia was her name,
And we met out in the foothills
Of the Ozark Mountain Range.
And we saw the world together,
And these sparks that we love most.
She still comes to me in dreams, I am still haunted with her ghost.
And oh, they call me Canyon Joe.
And all my thoughts are heavy,
My beard, it has grown long,
And I search the face of six-strings
for an old familiar song.
But the chords, they all sound foreign,
like the places that I've been,
So I close my eyes to sleep, tomorrow I will try again.
And oh, they call me Canyon Joe.
Oh, oh, they call me Canyon Joe.
Singing oh, oh, they call me Canyon Joe.
- - -
I dunno why, but I like this song. I like it a lot.
But also, I had a breakdown in the shower, and it kinda sucks, because I thought I was doing so well. I thought I was getting through this. I guess I'm still at square one.
- Mood:
Winter Downs - Listening to: singin' oh,
- Reading: oh,
- Watching: they
- Playing: call
- Eating: me
- Drinking: canyon joe.

Each man kills the thing he loves. -Oscar Wilde
The hawk on fire hangs still. Dilly dilly, calls the loft hawk, come and be killed. Dilly dilly, come let us die.
it's those stupid things we say in the rain, the words that can't ever be washed away.
