ridin' down the canyon
When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains And there's nothing left to do but lay around I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down  White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standing all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down  Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down A picture that no artist 'ere could paint Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side I hear a coyote calling to its mate  White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standing all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down  White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standing all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down  When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains And there's nothing left to do but lay around I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down  White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standing all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail Just to watch the desert sun go down
