The Memory Trail
Lyrics
Days at the movies, there on the front row
Reflecting on days spent watching movies from the front row
With a screen as big as the sky
Comparing the vastness of the screen to the sky
With cowboys we rode, learning cowboy code
Recalling childhood experiences emulating cowboy values
And men in white hats never die
Expressing the belief that heroes in white hats never perish
Weekends at home, the backyards we would roam
Remembering weekends spent exploring backyards
Building forts out of cardboard and glue
Building forts using cardboard and glue as materials
Our horses were sticks, but they knew all the tricks
Using sticks as pretend horses, imbuing them with imagined abilities
That Trigger and Champion knew
Referencing famous fictional horses' knowledge and skills
The horses are running
Depicting a scene of horses running freely
Their manes are a flying
Describing the energetic movement of the horses
There's thunder in the air
Creating a sense of excitement with thunderous sounds
A damsel is screaming
Evoking distress through a damsel's cry
Gunslingers are slinging
Imagining a scene with gunslingers engaged in action
There's danger everywhere
Portraying a dangerous atmosphere all around
And dreams come alive
Highlighting the vividness of dreams becoming reality
When old men ride
Describing the nostalgic feeling of elderly individuals engaging in activities
That long winding memory trail
Symbolizing the journey through memories
Circle red wagons and load your cap pistols
Encouraging play with toy wagons and cap pistols
There's bad guys headed this way
Warning of incoming adversaries
When we run out of caps, we don't mind that
Expressing contentment despite running out of resources
We'll bang bang and pow pow all day
Continuing playful sounds despite scarcity
We'll bang bang and pow pow all day
Reiteration of the playful sounds amid scarcity
We'll bang bang and pow pow all day
-The horses are running
Repeating the image of horses in motion
Their manes are a flying
Reiterating the energetic movement of the horses
There's thunder in the air
Recreating a sense of excitement with thunderous sounds
A damsel is screaming
Reiterating the distress through a damsel's cry
Gunslingers are slinging
Reimagining a scene with gunslingers engaged in action
There's danger everywhere
Reiterating a dangerous atmosphere all around
And dreams come alive
Reiterating the vividness of dreams becoming reality
When old men ride
Reiterating the nostalgic feeling of elderly individuals engaging in activities
That long winding memory trail
Reiterating the symbolism of the journey through memories
The evenings coming it's time to go in
Signaling the end of the day and the need to return home
Mama is calling us home
Referencing a maternal call to come indoors
Cowboys live best by the code of the west
Stressing the importance of adhering to cowboy values
Than they ride toward the setting sun
Emphasizing the romanticism of riding toward the sunset
The horses are running
Repeating the image of horses in motion
Their manes are a flying
Reiterating the energetic movement of the horses
There's thunder in the air
Recreating a sense of excitement with thunderous sounds
A damsel is screaming
Reiterating the distress through a damsel's cry
Gunslingers are slinging
Reimagining a scene with gunslingers engaged in action
There's danger everywhere
Reiterating a dangerous atmosphere all around
And dreams come alive
Reiterating the vividness of dreams becoming reality
When old men ride
Reiterating the nostalgic feeling of elderly individuals engaging in activities
That long winding memory trail
Reiterating the symbolism of the journey through memories
