Lyrics

I got canyon powder all over my shirt

I have canyon powder all over my shirt

Seven dollars to my name

I only have seven dollars to my name

Both my boots are filled with dirt

Both of my boots are filled with dirt

And I'm cold as hell

I feel extremely cold

It's a long way back to Shonto, but I'm ready to ride

Referring to the challenging journey back to Shonto

I'm gonna eat those miles for breakfast, and chase them down with the wind

I am determined to cover the distance, facing it head-on

Nobody knows where I am

Nobody is aware of my current location

To tell you the truth, neither do I

The singer is uncertain about their own whereabouts

I haven't seen a single sign of a soul for days

No signs of human presence have been seen for days

It's a long way back to Shonto, but I'm ready to ride

Reiteration of the challenging journey to Shonto

Kiss the first face I see if I make it back alive

If I survive, I will kiss the first person I see

If I could drink the sweat running down my cheeks I would

Expressing a willingness to endure hardship

Yeah you know I would

Reaffirmation of the singer's determination

If I could eat the dirt clinging to my skin I would

Expressing a desire to embrace challenges

You know I would

Reiteration of the singer's readiness for difficulties

It's a long way back to Shonto, but I'm ready to ride

Reaffirmation of the challenging journey to Shonto

I got the devil nipping at my heels

The singer feels pursued by negative influences

No angels by my side

No positive influences or support are present

Keep on riding

Encouragement to persist and continue the journey

Keep on riding

-

Keep on riding

-

Keep on riding

-

If I could drink the sweat running down my cheeks I would

Reiteration of the singer's willingness to endure challenges

Yeah you know I would

-

If I could eat the dirt clinging to my skin I would

-

You know I would

-

Cause it's a long way back to Shonto, but I'm ready to ride

Reaffirmation of the challenging journey to Shonto

I'm gonna keep on riding these old canyon roads till the day I die

Determination to continue navigating difficult paths until death

Till the day I die
