lyrics

Moon Dogs

in the first light of day she was finally alone
driving away with the radio on
not a glance behind to trouble her peace of mind
there’s wind in her hair but no tears in her eyes

the road winds away from all she’s known
a hundred years in a day from what was home
because the city’s lure and its streets could not carry her
any place that she wanted to be

she knows there must be stars at night
but she’s never seen them for the buildings planes and satellites
now she’s chasing the moon dogs and the coyote’s call

the city makes promises it never keeps
and everyone carries their scars
but down a washboard dirt road in the agave and creosote
only heartbreaking beauty there to break her heart

she knows there must be stars at night
but she’s never seen them for the buildings planes and satellites
now she’s chasing the moon dogs and the coyote’s call

a rising moon with no questions to ask
indigo shadows on a winding mountain pass
silence holds secrets deep in the night
and you can’t see the darkness by flooding it with light

she knows there must be stars at night
but she’s never seen them for the buildings planes and satellites
now she’s chasing the moon dogs and the coyote’s call

chasing the moon dogs and the coyote’s call
