String Cheese Incident - Up The Canyon lyrics

As I chase that evening sun towards my home,

Headed up the canyon all alone,

Worries are behind me fade to black,

I got my windows down, city to my back.

Quiet Contemplation,

a few minutes to unwind.

River's got me hypnotized

and it slows my busy mind.

I know what's waiting for me up around the next bend;

I'm up the canyon headed home again.

The sun is sinking low down in the west;

another working day is put to the test.

At every turn the air grows cooler as I climb,

up the canyon I feel better every time.

Quiet Contemplation,

a few minutes to unwind.

River's got me hypnotized

and I love to smell the pines

Tomorrow brings another day of working

'Till I'm up the canyon headed home again!

The river cuts a steady course,

from years of heading' seaward.

Follow that canyon back upstream.

The rivers song is pure and true,

it never ages.

It's as timeless as a dream.

I know what's waiting for me up around the next bend,

I'm up the canyon heading' home again!
