cliff dwelling on the blue mesa

your boot was turned the wrong way

on the post out by the highway

- sharp toe pointing to the south

away from where you've been

 

you're no stranger to the rangers

living dangerously on the edge

- sidewinders in the sagebrush

whispering to the wind

 

the anasazi built this home

stacking stone one by one

- far above the canyon

of petroglyphs and wrens

 

i knew i'd find you by the fire

talking to the ghosts of smoke and drum

- in the ruins above the dunes

reminiscing with your friends

 

- reminiscing, reminiscing

on the blue mesa.
