Drive By Truckers
Brighter Than Creation's Dark
The Monument Valley
Itââ¬â¢s all about where you put the horizon
Said the Great John Ford to the young man rising
You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course
And it helps to have a tall man sitting on the horse
Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery
A grasp of the ironic nature of history
A man turns his back on the comforts of home
The Monument Valley to ride off alone
And when the dust all settles and the story is told
History is made by the side of the road
By the men and women that can persevere
And rage through the storm, no matter how severe
And whether itââ¬â¢s a horse or a car or a train
Thereââ¬â¢s gonna be some fine times and thereââ¬â¢s gonna be some pain
In the end itââ¬â¢s a silhouette framed by the sun
And just The Monument Valley when the evening comes
Itââ¬â¢s a strong wind blowing on the open range
Itââ¬â¢s gonna be beautiful and itââ¬â¢s gonna be strange
Itââ¬â¢s where to plant the camera and when to say action
When to print the legend and when to leave the facts in
And when to turn your back on the comforts of home
And wander round The Monument Valley alone
