Up the Canyon

As I chase that evening sun towards my home
I'm headed up the canyon all alone
My worries all behind me fade to black
I got my windows down, city to my back

Quiet contemplation, a few minutes to unwind
River's got me hypnotized and it slows my busy mind
I know what's waiting for me up around the next bend
I'm up the canyon headed home again

Sun is sinking low down in the west
Another working day has put me to the test
With every turn the air grows cooler as I climb
Up the canyon I feel better every time

Quiet contemplation, a few minutes to unwind
River's got me hypnotized and I love the smell of pine
Tomorrow brings another day of workin'
'til I'm up the canyon headed home again

River cuts a steady course from years of headin' seaward
I follow that canyon back upstream
River's song is pure and true, it never ages
And it's as timeless as a dream

I know what's waiting for me up around the next bend
I'm up the canyon headed home again
