| There’s a back road leads by my old place |
| You know I never walk there no more |
| Led to salvation like a familiar face at my door |
| Thought I’d return there sooner or later |
| Somehow I never got past the edge of town |
| Like a path we all return to when there’s no place to run |
| On that red horizon seven horses come my way |
| Seven miles out and driving to the break of day |
| With that sun’s arriving elements of my fate |
| Some will bet that I’ll stumble at the break of day |
| On that red horizon |
| Spending all night on sand dunes under that |
| Sailor’s moon and now I |
| See the dawns painted light coming soon |
| I’m looking 'round for a sun sign |
| It’s like all I’ve ever done here is wait |
| And now I’m staring past indecision at the open gate |
| On that red horizon seven horses come my way |
| Seven miles out and driving to the break of day |
| With that solar lightning elements of my fate |
| Give me back something, pay me back for my wait |
| Lady luck’s no bettor |
| Lady loves a winner |
| Fade out fade away |
| On that red horizon seven horses come my way |
| Heading for my armageddon at the break of day |
| With that sun’s arriving there’ll be elements of my fate |
| Get me there somehow make me at the break of day |
| On that red horizon |
