Ridin' Down The Canyon Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains 

And there's nothing left to do but lay around 

I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail 

Just to watch the desert sun go down 

White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere 

Granite spires are standing all around 

I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail 

Just to watch the desert sun go down 

Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down 

A picture that no artist 'ere could paint 

Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side 

I hear a coyote calling to its mate 

White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere 

Granite spires are standing all around 

I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail 

Just to watch the desert sun go down 

White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere 

Granite spires are standing all around 

I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail 

Just to watch the desert sun go down 

When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains 

And there's nothing left to do but lay around 

I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail 

Just to watch the desert sun go down 

White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere 

Granite spires are standing all around 

I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail 

Just to watch the desert sun go down
