Grand Canyon Lyrics - English Oceans - Drive By Truckers

We went to Grand Canyon 

And we stood at the expanse 

And we watched the rocks change colors 

And we watched the shadows dance 

And we probably didn't say anything 

As the sunset turned to night 

We let the spirits do the talking 

With cascades of faded light 

And we drove across the desert 

Saw the mountain range at dawn 

Heard the thunder rumbles echo 

Against the rocks that Gods were made from 

And we drove across the wastelands 

Until we finally reached the sea 

And I wonder how a life so sturdy 

Just one day cease to be 

I'm never one to wonder 

That the things beyond control 

I stare off in the darkness 

I'ma feel the highway roll 

I feel the highway roll 

And we roll on in the darkness 

To some city far away 

Lug our sorrows, pains and angers 

And we turn them into play 

There's no time to dwell upon it 

It's this life that we chose 

That made it all worth living 

Through the horrors that life throws 

If the recently departed make the sunsets 

To say farewell to the ones they leave behind 

There were technicolor hues to see our sadness through 

As the sun over Athens said goodbye 

Said goodbye 

Said goodbye 

There's a white owl out my window 

Soft-lit in fading light 

He'll go soaring through the clouds 

And go hunting through the night 

And in my dreams I'll still can see him 

Flying through a western sky 

And I'll think about Grand Canyon 

And I'll lift my glass and smile 

I'll lift my glass and smile 

And I'll smile
