The Long Shadow

[Verse] Son sit down let's talk tonight World's not all black and white Every deed you do has weigh Costs you'll carry them someday [Verse 2] Riding hard chasing gold Silver spurs and hearts cold But in darkness deeds will hide Come sunrise truth'll abide [Chorus] Echoes in the canyons cry No escape you can't deny Good or bad it comes around What you give comes back aground [Verse 3] Treat folks kind lend your hand Stand tall be a better man Can't outrun a wrong you've done Truth will catch you on the run [Verse 4] Waters clear yet shadows deep Secrets you may wish to keep But the river spills its tale Every sin leaves a trail [Bridge] So listen close my only son In this life you cannot shun The long shadow always stays Right or wrong it'll blaze
