Blue Coyote
Picking up a bad scent
Tripping out on a ghostly cue
Your supper ain’t served yet
Reservation fugitive
You have so much more to give
Blue Coyote

Your hind legs are kicking
Scratchin’ off the old waste - running
Breaking out to a higher view
Lickin’ wounds and stale bait
Every moment spent looking back
Is a moment missing ahead
Blue Coyote

How do you analyze
All the spirits living within
Blue Coyote

Blue Coyote
This mission ain’t your last race
Better high tail and move it on
Gotta keep a fast pace
All of these promises
Mean nothing if you just give in
Blue Coyote

Reservation fugitive
You have so much more to give
Blue Coyote
