about

Cacti Canyon is a psychedelic, grungy song that was inspired by "Riders On The Storm" by The Doors. It's a song about loneliness and finding yourself in the desert.

lyrics

A million cacti through the canyon, all remind me of my baby at home
Each one sprouting out white flowers, they fill the cool air with their heavenly song
Sweet baby James wakes by his campfire, his horse companion licks the dirt from his face
They saddle up into the sunrise, as the desert rain begins to fall from the sky
Nothing but miles and miles till I'm home again,
Though I may try, no one will hear me
The canyon is quiet and I'm alone with my thoughts
But the smell of rain keeps me sane
Though I may be headed home, the raging desert's just so calm
As the rain makes rivers 'neath my feet,
Sweet sweet peace, sweet sweet peace, sweet sweet peace
I'll never leave, I'll never leave
