lyrics

there was something on the edge of the field that night
i saw it in the corner of my eye
as i was closing the door of the cattle barn
and the moon was hangin low in the sky

then i headed on over to the house
where i watched the kids playing on the floor
Delores said as she went up to bed
“make sure you lock the door”

had a dream about my father that night
his face an angry mask painted red
he was coiled like the spring in his pistol
it felt like he had it pointed at my head

i’d wondered if those demons that haunted him
everyday of his life
might’ve moved along and given him peace
when he crossed to the other side

but the man in my dream was tormented still
he was burning to settle a score
he was cursing this world and everything in it
as he tried to break down my door

he said he would take what was his
he said there would be hell to pay
i woke up in the dark in a cold sweat
heart beating like it wanted to escape

morning came with the smell of coffee
and kids voices rising up the stairs
i washed the night right off my skin
stepped out into the morning air

the valley was awake in green and gold
it was glory and peace in harmony
i drove my old chevy down to the shop
and billy irons came over to me

he told me there been an incident last night
man murdered up along the ridge
they found his body buried under the leaves
down at the dry creek bridge

there’s not much to this story
just your ordinary small town themes
dancing around the old mystery
of life and death and dreams
