kanata nash - back east lyrics

one thing you can’t argue about death valley
it earned its name the hard way
horse gone for miles; it’s just my hat and my boots
i stumble into the dust, just looking for my roots
but from desert to swamp, too many states to count
i’m afraid i won’t make it without a proper mount

went looking for adventure in the far west
ended up losing everything of interest
born in the bayou, raised in the wetlands
i wasn’t meant to dig gold in some fairylands
from frisco to lafitte, i plotted my way back
seems i underestimated this desert on the track

[chorus]
should not have gone the way of the conquest
should not have followed everyone else west
greener pastures were already there before i chose to roam
my body and my soul are now just craving for home

i can’t go on under that infernal dry heat
i fell into the dirt, listening to my last beat
i see the cypress trees when i close my eyes
hear the fiddles echo under the southern skies
but this barren land can’t sing me back to life
only the bayou can heal a cajun’s strife
if my bones stay buried in this desert sand
tell them i longed for my father’s land
i left my soul where the swamp birds cry
and that’s where a cajun’s heart should die
mo regard s’éteint su’ l’horizon
mais les étoiles s’allument ben d’ssus ma maison

[chorus]
should not have gone the way of the conquest
should not have followed everyone else west
greener pastures were waiting there before i chose to roam
now i’ll never see them again — but i know where is home
