As I chase that evening sun towards my home

I'm headed up the canyon all alone

My worries all behind me fade to black

I got my windows down city to my back

Quiet contemplation a few minutes to unwind

River's got me hypnotized

And it slows my busy mind

I know what's waiting for me

Up around the next bend

I'm up the canyon headed home again

Sun is sinking low down in the west

Another working day has put me to the test

With every turn the air grows cooler as I climb

Up the canyon I feel better every time

Quiet contemplation a few minutes to unwind

River's got me hypnotized

And I love the smell of pine

Tomorrow brings another day of workin'

'Til I'm up the canyon headed home again

River cuts a steady course

From years of headin' seaward

I follow that canyon back upstream

River's song is pure and true it never ages

And it's as timeless as a dream

I know what's waiting for me

Up around the next bend

I'm up the canyon headed home again
