Jessi Colter The Canyon Lyrics

The Canyon Lyrics

Don't lay your bridle on my shoulder

Don't bring your bit to my mouth

Don't lay your blanket on my body

Just take your saddle and move out

Just take your saddle and move out



You were playin' with my fire

You put your brand on my heart 

But like a wild colt in its fury

Eye to eye we stand apart 



It's a long way down the canyon

Only the stars would see you fall

If you only wanted your way

I believe you should take it all

I believe you should take it all



I've been beside you for a long way

I've tried to let you have it all

But the canyon's goin' narrow

Seems there's room for one that's all

Seems there's room for one that's all



It's a long way down the canyon

Only the stars could see you fall

If you only wanted your way

I believe you should take it all

I believe you should take it all
