Words and music by B. Cochran and C. Van Beek



Out on the highway, looking for a sign

That will lead me to the canyon

Got to meet some friends of mine

I can feel the fires burnin'

As I ride into the light

Got to keep the wheels turnin'

If I have to ride all night.



Cause time is a wastin'

They got wine for the tastin'

Woh...Don't you know 

Got to get into the wind.



I can hear the whistle blowin'

As I'm comin' to the track

Got to get to where I'm goin'

Cause you know I can't go back

There is somethin' deep inside me

I can feel the chilly night

My body's tired and restless

But, Lord, I've got to fight.



When I get to where I'm goin'

I know just what I'll find

The fires will be glowin'

So I've got to make some time

Ain't nothin' gonna stop me

Though it's gettin' mighty cool

I've got to keep on goin'

Cause the canyon is my home
