Boot heels knock dust from the old county road
A folded map
bears a name no one knows
The reservoir moon cuts silver through pine
And your borrowed compass keeps pointing west tonight
You say the trail ends where the black ridges bend
I say a lost tale
can still find a friend
Run with me past the last fence line
Chase that legend
through the timber and sky
If the road turns strange,
keep your hand in mine
We'll find what was hidden
when the dark gives way to light
A rusted gate swings by the abandoned mine
Your red scarf snaps in the mountain wind behind
We follow three stones
painted pale blue
And a raven lifts from the place
marked "true"
The night has teeth,
but the dawn has a name
Every mile burns brighter than the flame
Run with me past the last fence line
Chase that legend
through the timber and sky
If the road turns strange,
keep your hand in mine
We'll find what
was hidden
when the dark gives way to light
When the canyon opens,
there it is below
A buried bell beneath the winter snow No gold,
no crown, just a letter in a tin
Saying every brave heart gets lost
before it begins
Run with me past the last fence line
Chase that legend
through the timber and sky
If the road turns strange,
keep your hand in mine
We'll find what
was hidden
when the dark gives way to light
Past the last fence,
past the pines
Your hand in mine,
the road unwinds
