Verse 1
D
They were hiding behind hay bales
G
D
They were planting in the full moon
D
D/C#
Bm7
They had given all they had
D/A
G
A
for something new
D
But the light of day was on them
G
D
They could see the thrashers coming
D
D/C#
Bm7
And the water shone like diamonds
D/A
G
A
in the dew
Chorus 1
G
A
And I was just getting up,
D
G
hit the road before it's light
A
D
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
G
A
When I saw those thrashers rolling by
D
Bm7
Looking more than two lanes wide
Em7
A
I was feelin' like my day had just begun
Verse 2
D
Where the eagle glides descending
G
D
There's an ancient river bending
D/C#
Bm7
Through the timeless gorge of changes
D/A
G
A
Where sleeplessness awaits
D
I searched out my companions
G

Who were lost in crystal canyons

When the aimless blade of science
D/A
G
A
Slashed the pearly gates
Chorus 2
G
A
It was then I knew I'd had enough
D
G
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where
A
D
the pavement turns to sand
G
A
With a one way ticket to the land of truth
D
Bm7
And my suitcase in my hand
Em7
How I lost my friends
A
I still don't understand
Verse 3
D
They had the best selection
G
D
They were poisoned with protection
D/C#
Bm7
There was nothing that they needed
D/A
G
A
Nothing left to find
D
They were lost in rock formations
G
D
Or became park bench mutations
D/C#
Bm7
D/A
On the sidewalks and in the stations
G
A
They were waiting, waiting,
Chorus 3
G
A
So I got bored and left them there
D
G
They were just deadweight to me
A
D
Better down the road without that load
G
Brings back the time
A
when I was eight or nine
D
Bm7
I was watchin' my mama's TV
Em7
It was that great Grand Canyon
A
rescue episode
Verse 4
D
Where the vulture glides descending
G
D
On an asphalt highway bending
D/C#
Bm7
Through libraries and museums,
D/A
G
A
galaxies and stars
D
Down the windy halls of friendship
G
D
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
D/C#
Bm7
The motel of lost companions
D/A
G
A
Waits with heated pool and bar
Chorus 4
G
A
But me I'm not stopping there
D
G
Got my own row left to hoe
A
D
Just another line in the field of time
G
When the thrasher comes,
A
I'll be stuck in the sun
D
Bm7
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
Em7
But I'll know the time has come
A
To give what's mine
