Girl From The Canyon

Johnny Cash


The girl from the canyon smiled a smile that brought me home 
As sick and bleeding as I was she took me on her own 
Brought me to the canyon where the sun poured down like rain 
Her smiling eyes and the mountain light I thought myself insane 
These hills have seen me runnin' till my horse could hardly stand 
Hidin' by day in the mountains movin' with the moon on the land 
I'm hoping to find my freedom in a world that wants me dead 
The girl from the canyon took and healed my wounds instead 
The girl from the canyon she don't need to know what I had done 
She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun 
The girl from the canyon the girl from the canyon she was the only one 
An outlaw is a hunted one with aprice upon his head 
We're all outlaws in a way that is what she said 
And so I left the canyon when I was strong enough to ride 
The girl from the canyon she was riding by my side 
The girl from the canyon.. 
She was the only one
