Cousin in the Canyon

[Verse] Out in the canyon, where the coyotes howl, Got a cabin standing strong, though it's been a while. No neighbors for miles, just the mountains tall, Echoes of my footsteps, I'm talkin' to the wall. [Verse 2] My pa came here, chasin' dreams untamed, Left a trail of dust, and the country never changed. Found love with my kin, where the river bends, A cousin in the canyon, my closest friend. [Chorus] In the Wild West, where the world ain't close, Found my heart in the family, where love grows. Miles from nowhere, we built a life anew, In the arms of my cousin, where the skies are blue. [Verse 3] Days are long, and the silence speaks, Underneath the stars, no other souls to meet. We carved our names in that lonesome pine, Hand in hand, together through the tough times. [Bridge] They may judge us, but they don't know our tale, The winding path we walked, the winds that we’ve hailed. In the harmony of the hills, we made our stand, Me and my cousin, living off the land. [Chorus] In the Wild West, where the world ain't close, Found my heart in the family, where love grows. Miles from nowhere, we built a life anew, In the arms of my cousin, where the skies are blue.
