Red Horizon

There’s a back road leads by my old place
You know I never walk there no more
Led to salvation like a familiar face at my door
Thought I’d return there sooner or later
Somehow I never got past the edge of town
Like a path we all return to when there’s no place to run
On that red horizon seven horses come my way
Seven miles out and driving to the break of day
With that sun’s arriving elements of my fate
Some will bet that I’ll stumble at the break of day
On that red horizon
Spending all night on sand dunes under that
Sailor’s moon and now I
See the dawns painted light coming soon
I’m looking 'round for a sun sign
It’s like all I’ve ever done here is wait
And now I’m staring past indecision at the open gate
On that red horizon seven horses come my way
Seven miles out and driving to the break of day
With that solar lightning elements of my fate
Give me back something, pay me back for my wait
Lady luck’s no bettor
Lady loves a winner
Fade out fade away
On that red horizon seven horses come my way
Heading for my armageddon at the break of day
With that sun’s arriving there’ll be elements of my fate
Get me there somehow make me at the break of day
On that red horizon
