Dust on the Run

Sun sets red on the Rio Grande

Boot heels thunder t’rough the Texas sand

Leather reins tight in a calloused hand

I got the lawmen closing in on my land

Every hoofbeat pounding like a warning sign

Coyote shadows race beside me

Wind tastes just like danger

Kick up that dust, boy—run, run, run

Out where the wild hearts chase the sun

Cold steel justice in every gun

Tonight’s about survival, not what’s done

Out on the trail, I ain’t the only one

Six strong horses and a grudge in tow

Tracks like secrets only I know

Thunder whispers in the canyon low

Ain’t no turning back, gotta lay low

Freedom’s waiting past the mesa glow

Coyote shadows race beside me

Wind tastes just like danger

Kick up that dust, boy—run, run, run

Out where the wild hearts chase the sun

Cold steel justice in every gun

Tonight’s about survival, not what’s done

Out on the trail, I ain’t the only one

Sirens echo through the cottonwood air

A flash of silver, a whispered prayer

My sins ride heavy but I won’t scare

On the open range I lay myself bare

Peace is a mirage, but I don’t care

Kick up that dust, boy—run, run, run

Out where the wild hearts chase the sun

Cold steel justice in every gun

Tonight’s about survival, not what’s done

Out on the trail, I ain’t the only oneHooves fade into the western sky

Ride on, wild soul, never say goodbye
