Ridin' Down The Canyon, to watch the sun go down
a picture that no artist ever could paint
white faced cattle lowin' on the mountain side
i hear a coyote whining for its mate

cactus plants are bloomin, sagebrush everywhere
granite spires are standin' all around
i tell you folks it's heaven, to be ridin down the trail
when the desert sun goes down

when evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain
and all i've got to do is lay around
i saddle up my pony. and i ride off down trail
to watch the desert sun goes down
