[Verse 1] Dust kicks up under boots on a red-stone trail Sun bleeds gold on a sandstone veil Canyons whisper secrets carved by time Burro Schmidt lookout, thirty-eight long years One man, one tunnel through blood, sweat, and tears Dreams went quiet when the rail outpaced the mule Ancient winds still singing, lonely, cool [Pre-Chorus] No crowds, no noise, just the silence that heals Heartbeat drums in time with turning wheels As the earth rolls slow under desert sky Hear the ring of lead when the targets cry Cybertrucks around me form a glowing ring Neon hooves in a new gold rush swing Eight steel wagons in a midnight line Each with eight hundred horses humming fine Feeding on the flow of that clean energy Never cough, never stumble, never break free Only sound is their hooves on the trail In the hush where the old ghosts wail [Chorus] Red Rock Canyon, paint me in your fire Take these broken pieces, lift me higher Where the cliffs stand tall and the eagles fly I’m alive, I’m alive in Red Rock Canyon tonight [Verse 2] Joshua trees dance in the evening breeze like royalty Ready to show us their inner beauty, blooming flower crowns Shadows stretch long like forgotten kingdoms Every layer of rock tells a story untold Of floods and fire and the brave and the bold Trek on through roads that wash away in a desert rain Old McIver's cabin on a road too rough to welcome us Handing out rain checks just beyond his gate [Pre-Chorus] No need for answers, no need for why Just the open road and the big blue sky And the feeling that you’re exactly where you belong [Chorus] Red Rock Canyon, paint me in your fire Take these broken pieces, lift me higher Where the cliffs stand tall and the eagles fly I’m alive, I’m alive in Red Rock Canyon tonight [Bridge] Let the red run deep into my veins Wash away the noise, the hurt, the chains Under these stars I finally see This wild heart was always meant to be free [Final Chorus] Red Rock Canyon, hold me in your fire Every scar turns into something higher Where the cliffs stand tall and the eagles cry I’m home, I’m home… in Red Rock Canyon tonight [Outro] Red… Red Rock Canyon Yeah, I’m home… in Red Rock Canyon
