cover《游京》DJ版
Dusty highway stretches through the fading desert light
My horse is getting restless as we ride into the night
Used to know these canyons like the lines upon my hand
Nowthere's neon burning where the mesquite used to stand
Silver spurs keep jingling with every step I take
Past the ghost town saloon wherethey're building a new steak
The cattle trails are paved now with yellow parking lines
And the coyotes howl in rhythm to the distant railroad signs
Oh this desert motel, where the old west went to die
With fresh air and free wifi under electric skies
You can check out any morning, ride into the sun
But thefrontier's gone forever, what the progress has undone
Myfather's worn- out saddle smells of leather and regret
While the kids at the store have never seen sunset
Not the real one anyways, not like it used to be
Before the city lights polluted all we used to see
Sometimes at night I hear the ghosts of cattle drives gone by
Mixed with the humming of the power lines against the sky
The railroad brought the future on its cold and steel design
And left our way of living on the other side of time
Oh this desert motel, where the old west went to die
With fresh air and free wifi under electric skies
You can check out any morning, ride into the sun
But thefrontier's gone forever, what the progress has undone
Mytruck's engine rumbles where the stallion used to neigh
I guessI'll join the highway like the rest, and drift away
But in my rearview mirror, in thetwilight's purple hue
I still see that lone rider that I thoughtI'd never lose
