Red Horizon - Kim Mitchell

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
