The dust settles low on the old canyon trailThe saddle sits lone on the fence by the railA thunderous heartbeat that ran with the windIs quiet tonight where the valleys beginThey called you Dynamite, a spark in the darkA spirit too wild for a fence or a markWith a coat like the midnight and eyes full of fireYou ran like a song that could never grow tiredNow the pastures are empty, the paddock is stillNo echo of hooves coming over the hillBut the sky is wide open, the fences are goneSo run through the stars, Dynamite, and gallop alongYou carried my burdens when shadows grew longIn every tough mile, you were steady and strongA shake of your mane and a push through the gateYou taught me that freedom is stronger than fateBut the years catch the fast ones, the fire burns downThe heaviest silence has broken this townI held your soft muzzle and whispered goodbyeAs the last bit of lightning left into the skyNow the pastures are empty, the paddock is stillNo echo of hooves coming over the hillBut the sky is wide open, the fences are goneSo run through the stars, Dynamite, and gallop alongI swear when the summer storms roll through the plainI’ll hear your loud thunder and see your dark maneYou weren't meant for ground, you were meant for the airA beautiful flash that was too bright to spareSo run through the meadows where time doesn't bindLeave all of the dust and the fences behindYou lived like an explosion of grace and of mightRest easy, big friend, in the quiet tonightNow the pastures are empty, the paddock is stillNo echo of hooves coming over the hillBut the sky is wide open, the fences are goneSo run through the stars, Dynamite, and gallop alongYeah, run through the stars, Dynamite, till the dawn
