Lyrics
I wanna go where the sun sinks low
Desire to be in a place where the day ends beautifully.
Eagle, bear, and buffalo
Reference to iconic North American wildlife—symbolic of nature.
I wanna watch the stars shine on my own
Wish to experience the beauty of the stars independently.
Lay me down in the morning rain
Yearning for a peaceful moment amidst rainfall.
Rivers row by like runaway trains
Visualizing rivers flowing swiftly, likened to trains.
You can, you can leave me here in Yellowstone
Contentment with being left alone in Yellowstone National Park.
Where all the trees grow old and tall
Yellowstone’s trees symbolize the passage of time and growth.
Make me feel so young and small
Feeling youthful and insignificant in the vastness of nature.
Make me wonder If I'm here at all
Questioning existence and purpose in the grand scheme.
Who am I to see?
Querying one's significance and understanding of surroundings.
Lake so clear you can see to the ground
Describing the clarity of a lake’s water.
Make all the mountains hang upside down
Imagining a topsy-turvy world in the mountains’ reflection.
Make me wonder am I right way around
Questioning one's orientation and understanding of reality.
It doesn't matter anyway
Asserting that specifics are insignificant in the broader context.
I wanna go where the sun sinks low
Reiteration of the desire to witness a beautiful sunset.
Eagle, bear, and buffalo
Repetition of the symbolic animals representing nature.
I wanna watch the stars shine on my own
Yearning to experience the beauty of stars in solitude.
Lay me down in the midday sun
Longing for relaxation under the midday sun.
Beaten down like a soldier's drum
Feeling worn down, similar to a soldier after battle.
You can, you can hear them play in Yellowstone
Imagining the sounds of drums in Yellowstone’s ambiance.
Worn out soles, aching bones
Describing physical exhaustion and weariness.
Fishing poles and stepping stones
Symbolism of simple joys and progress in life.
Whiskey woman, campfire smoke
Evoking the atmosphere of a campfire and companionship.
The ending of the day
Reflection on the peacefulness at day's end.
Where you listen to the wind, whistle her tune
Listening to nature's melodies, particularly the wind.
Coyotes sing by the light of the moon
Highlighting the sounds of wildlife under the moon.
If I ever leave it'll be too soon
Expressing reluctance to leave this serene environment.
But I know that I couldn't stay
Acknowledging the inability to permanently stay.
I wanna go where the sun sinks low
Reiteration of the desire to witness a beautiful sunset.
Eagle, bear, and buffalo
Repetition of the symbolic animals representing nature.
I wanna watch the stars shine on my own
Yearning to experience the beauty of stars in solitude.
Lay me down in the evening light
Desire to relax in the soothing evening light.
Keys of smoke and starlit night
Imagery of a serene night with ethereal elements.
You can leave me here, Yellowstone
Acceptance of being left behind in Yellowstone.
Leave me close to tears, Yellowstone
Emotional attachment and reluctance to depart.
Never disappear, Yellowstone
Expressing the desire for Yellowstone to remain ever-present.
