Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots kick dust on a red dirt morning Map in my pocket Coffee gone cold Those jagged teeth on the far horizon Keep chewing up every rumor of gold Wildflowers lean in the dry heat breathing Purple and yellow in a rusty tin can A little gray squirrel on a leaning cactus Stares me down like it knows my plan (hey!) [Chorus] Out in the shadow of Superstition I chase a story that’s older than time Every dry creek Every broken boulder Whispers “Girl That vein is mine” If I get lost in the Lost Dutchman Let my name ride on the roaming wind ’Cause I found something brighter than the treasure In the place where the desert begins [Verse 2] Sunburned nose and a frayed bandana Sweat on my neck Steel in my hand Old prospector carved his fear in the canyon Left ghost notes in the rock and sand Cholla blooms like a crown of fire Buzzards circle in a lazy ring I strike stone Strike hope Strike silence Hear my own heart echo and sing (oh yeah) [Chorus] Out in the shadow of Superstition I chase a story that’s older than time Every dry creek Every broken boulder Whispers “Girl That vein is mine” If I get lost in the Lost Dutchman Let my name ride on the roaming wind ’Cause I found something brighter than the treasure In the place where the desert begins [Bridge] Maybe the gold was a lie from the start Just bait on the hook for a restless heart ’Cause the bloom on the sand and the thorns in my skin Feel richer than anything locked in a tin [Chorus] Out in the shadow of Superstition I chased a story and fell into me Every dry creek Every broken boulder Turned into pages of my own history If I get lost in the Lost Dutchman Sing my song where the red rocks spin ’Cause I found something brighter than the treasure In the place where the desert The wild Arizona desert In the place where the desert begins
