[INTRO] (Slide guitar moans, slow and dusty) Boot heels tap on an empty line Wind talks low through the telephone wire [VERSE 1] Sun comin’ up like a rusted dime Hanging low on a broken sign I got miles stacked heavy on my bones Coffee cold and a head full of ghosts [VERSE 2] Tires hum prayers to the cracked blacktop Every town just a place I stop I been runnin’ from a name I used to know Chasin’ shadows where the wild winds blow [CHORUS] That wolf on the horizon callin’ my name Howlin’ truths I can’t outrun or tame I keep drivin’ but the sky knows I’m married to these Wolf Horizon Blues [VERSE 3] Slide guitar cry like a midnight train Every note got a touch of pain Radio preacher say salvation’s near But the road’s the only thing that hears [CHORUS] That wolf on the horizon callin’ my name Howlin’ truths I can’t outrun or tame I keep drivin’ but the sky knows I’m married to these Wolf Horizon Blues [BRIDGE] If I stop movin’ I might feel Every scar I never let heal So I let the engine talk me through Another night of broken moon [FINAL CHORUS] That wolf on the horizon walkin’ slow Through the dust where the dead winds go I ain’t lost, I just choose These long-road Wolf Horizon Blues [OUTRO] (Slide guitar fades, wind and road noise) Wolf howls once… then gone
