Powder Dreams

Dusty roads fade into the haze

Powder clouds steal the spotlight blaze

Drifting slow like a ghost on the breeze

Chasing shadows beneath the cedar trees

Oh powder dreams in a midnight sky

Whisper low while the coyotes cry

Fingers stained with the smoke of night

Holding on to the stars so tight

Boot heels stomp on a broken track

Soul's a suitcase

I can't unpack

Silver moon hums a lonesome tune

Hiding secrets the wind will croon

In the silence of the tumbleweed's roll

There's a rhythm in this aching soul

Every chord’s got a story to say

Carved in powder

It'll blow away

Oh powder dreams in a midnight sky

Whisper low while the coyotes cry

Fingers stained with the smoke of night

Holding on to the stars so tight

Highway's calling a lover's refrain

Smoke curling like a whiskey stain

Powder trails mark the steps I tread

Blues won't quit

They live in my head
