Coyote Lyrics by Jonathan Byrd

The Law and the Lonesome

2007

He hugged the brush and ran the ridge
Dropped down and headed for the bridge
Dropped down and headed for the bridge
Quiet as the rising moon
Quiet as the rising moon
I saw a coyote

The devil broke the rolling veil
A shadow rode along the rail
A shadow rode along the rail
Black as the buzzard's wing
Black as the buzzard's wing
I saw a coyote

And if you look down there you'll find a trace
A barbed wire scar across the face
A barbed wire scar across the face
Fading like a midnight mile
Fading like a midnight mile
I saw a coyote

Fading like a midnight mile
I saw a coyote
