Traveling across the desert my mind went back in time
I imagined I saw a wagon train stretched out in a very long line
An Indian brave was watching I could hear a coyote wail
And echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail

Pioneers crossed the badlands burying loved ones on the way
Burdens seemed so heavy they couldn't face another day
Those days are gone forever only memories prevail
Just echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail

Echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail
Wagon trains kept moving their spirits did prevail 
The west was won by hearty folk now their story's just a tale
Of echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail

I could hear the oxen lowing water's hard to find
I could hear the babies whining hungry all the time
Indian signs were everywhere they'll attack in yonder vale
Now it's just echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail

Echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail
Wagon trains kept moving their spirits did prevail 
The west was won by hearty folk now their story's just a tale
Of echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail
Of echoes down the canyon (canyon) shadows on the trail
