I was supposed to be in the pines
Instead I make a living
Mixing drinks in the shadow
Of mountains larger
Than I have ever seen
Lights in the valley at night
missed chances
Mistakes and broken glasses
Moonlight glancing off the shards
Of who we were
Blood on my fingertips
I am alive and becoming
My blood has watered this desert
Since it was settled
Rolling through a canyon
With everything we owned
They came in a handcart
I came in a teenage Cadillac
Stopping a day short of Oregon
In the cradle of 4 generations
and my father’s gods
