[Intro]
Am Am Am7 Am E7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
I came to the country, it was dusty and dry, my heart was ready for restin’
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Winter sun so low in the sky, life was askin’ a question
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Evenings came so mellow and slow, stars demanding attention
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
I woke to find that dead things do grow, morning holding redemption
[Chorus]
F Am F Am
Thunder sounded, my past washed away; Yucca were shootin’ out treasures
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Music taught me a new way to sway, and showed me the end of the desert
[Verse 2]
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Summer sun flames up in the sky, my heart was ready for testin’
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Coyotes howled at the train passin’ by with an answer to part of the question
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Horse hair clouds fan out up above, not pointing in any direction
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
But where the mane touched to the ground, it’s there I found a connection
[Chorus]
F Am F Am
Thunder sounded, my past washed away; Yucca were shootin’ out treasures
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Music taught me a new way to sway, and showed me the end of the desert
[Verse 3]
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Hot sunny days continued to flow, my heart was ready for questin’
Am Am7 Am
I stepped into journey, startin’ out slow;
E7 Am
T’was leading beyond all the questions
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
And one came with me to join in the song, harmony rich with reflection
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Travel and music made us both strong, together we found a direction
[Chorus]
F Am F Am
Thunder sounded, my past washed away; Yucca were shootin’ out treasures
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Music taught me a new way to sway, and showed me the end of the desert
[Outro]
Am Am7 Am E7 Am
Music taught me a new song to sing, and I found the end of the desert
