I could hear you calling Through the whispering woods I could hear you call my name From the back porch door Said, "Prosper, come here quick, it's worse than we expected it" Found him this morning and the news ain't good Finally caught up with him last night Near the Nevada line ♪ Trail of blood along the clean white salt Found him faced down on the alkali flat Rolled him over, barely breathing Still he got a few words out Said he was driving the Denio track A four by four appeared behind his back Headlights burning up the sky To the top of Steens Mountain Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water Crashed his side door and it forced him to stop Three men got out dressed in camouflage Told him, "Start digging us a well When you're done, you dig another" Then shots, they ricocheted around his head Kicked him hard and they left him for dead Started crawling back to town And that is when we found him Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water And the last thing your father said When he closed his eyes, was ♪ "Now it's said, the Sun's a big door That protects us from the dark And if you look behind it, all you'll see is yourself" Since he died I lost my will to ride It's 'neath the surface with my shame and my pride Someday it will explode, explode into the sky All the way to the top of Steens Mountain Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water Death at low (death at low) Death at low, death at low water
