Brenn Hill The Houndsman
Verse 1:
You'll search forever for tracks in the snow
Waiting for winter ‘til it's time to go
You'll leave a good woman; take a good dog and horse
Leave her to worry all day and all night without remorse
New snow has fallen upon blood red cliffs
The mountains stand silent; the air clean and crisp
The bay of the walker is a song to your heart
That beats like a war drum every time you hear the song start
Chorus:
So Houndsman keep ridin'; away from your demons
The times they are changin'; you're still up there dreamin'
These mountains and canyons that you love the most
Are dark and enchanted; you're chasing a ghost
Verse 2:
They don't understand you and they never will
The thrill of the chase is more than the kill
It's something inside you that you can't explain
It's deeper than love, what love that you've known; it's sharper than pain
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
And freedom waits behind locked gates
The cattle are gone; the whole world's movin' on
It's wild open country that you know so well
These mountains are haunted-but they're Heaven
The cities are Hell
Final Chorus
