Echo in the Canyons

My name's just a whisper on the lips of the brave Carved into stones on the unmarked graves I ride by the light of the pale moon's gloom Trouble's been my bride, loneliness my groom Bound by a code only outlaws know Laugh in the face of the high noon's glow My boots are worn, from the paths I've roamed The wanted posters show a face long gone That shadow on my trail, it grows so long I'm a ghost of the west, where I don’t belong I've been ridin', dust in my eyes Burned by the desert sun's rise Lost count of the warrants behind Ain't no straight path for this life I find Been thinkin' of folks I done wrong Hearin' that old judge's gavel song Dust kicks up from under my wheels I'm bound for the hills where the cold wind steals With a gun on my hip and a price on my name Ridin' past the rivers where the wild things came [Chorus] I am the outlaw echo in the canyons deep The restless drifter when the world's asleep
