Girl From The Canyon Lyrics - Keith Whitley

The girl from the canyon smiled a smile that brought me home 

As sick and bleedin' as I was she took me on her own 

Brought me to the canyon where the sun poured down like rain 

Her smilin' eyes and the mountain light I thought myself insane. 

These hills have seen me runnin' till my horse could hardly stand 

Hidin' by day in the mountains movin' with the moon on the land 

I'm hopin' to find my freedom in a world that wants me dead 

The girl from the canyon took and healed my wounds instead. 

The girl from the canyon she don't need to know what I've done 

She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun 

The girl from the canyon, the girl from the canyon 

She was the only one. 

An outlaw is a hunted one with a price upon his head 

We're all outlaws in a way that is what she said 

And so I left the canyon when I was strong enough to ride 

The girl from the canyon she was ridin' by my side. 

The girl from the canyon she don't need to know what I've done 

She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun 

The girl from the canyon, the girl from the canyon 

She was the only one. 

She was the only one...
