Midnight on the Range

[Verse] The wind howls through the canyon, like a ghost without a name, Shadows dance on tumbleweeds, whispering my shame. The night is thick as whiskey, pouring down my throat, Midnight on the range, where the lost souls roam and float. [Verse 2] The moon's a silver outlaw, riding high and cold, Lonesome as a prairie dog, digging through the old. Coyotes sing their sorrow, under velvet skies, Midnight on the range, where broken dreams lie. [Chorus] Out here in the darkness, the past won't let me be, Echoes of the things I've done, haunting endlessly. The fire's low but burning, can't escape the flame, Midnight on the range, everything feels the same. [Verse 3] Boot prints in the dust, leading nowhere fast, Chasing down redemption, but it slips from my grasp. Stars blink out their judgment, from a world apart, Midnight on the range, tearing at my heart. [Bridge] Gal in the old saloon, called me her outlaw king, But a king without a kingdom, is just a pawn with a ring. The desert stretches endless, no end in sight, Midnight on the range, searching for the light. [Verse 4] A six-string by the campfire, plays a mournful tune, Telling tales of desperados, under a blood-red moon. The night is unforgiving, no room to hide, Midnight on the range, riding with the tide.
