Marathon Lyrics by Drew Kennedy

Marathon

0

[Verse 1]
Highway 90 driving
Due west, border line is
Dead left just outside
Of Amistad
And Langtry ain't seen more than
Roy Bean holding court and the
Light green and dust white Fords
On the day watch
[Chorus]
You can drive a 110
From Dryden to Sanderson
And it doesn't really seem all that fast
Hug the edge of the canyon
Past the Longfellow Ranch
'Til the mesas give way
To the long, gold grasses of Marathon
[Verse 2]
With Buffalo Soldiers posted
The railroad coast to coasted
On tracks sewn by Chinese ghosts
For pocket change
When creosote on monsoon mornings
Finds your nose you know a storm'll be
Rolling ovеr those old Del Norte's
With a hard rain
[Chorus]
You can see your shadow at night
Cast by nothing but starlight
And count all fivе fingers right there on the ground
Watch the moon rising out of
The mouth of the Glass Mountains
'Til that big silver dollar
Buys up all of the midnight in Marathon
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
[Outro]
The arrowheads were Apache and Chiso
The lightning brand ran from here to Boquillas
This year the high school's got seven seniors
In Marathon
