Scott Gates: Listen

Dusty Boots Corral

(Scott Gates)

lyrics by Andrew Gates, music by Scott Gates
KAT and Crazy John Moser are friends who own the real Dusty Boots Corral in Joshua Tree, CA. KAT is Scott's very first fan, and the first site designer.
The sun rides high in the western sky, and the shadows melt away
Near the canyon home where the Indians roamed in that far and distant day
Somehow it just seems to me the wind whispers it's history
And everything just fits for me at the Dusty Boots Corral

Miners searchin' the hills for gold once trod upon this ground
Where now you stand just close your eyes and listen to the sound
The coyotes howl and the wind blows free
The desert weaves it's mystery
And everything just fits for me at the Dusty Boots Corral

A homestead here and a cabin there leaves their bones among the land
And now a brand new horse corral sits down among the sand
Horses run among the Joshua trees
The sound of life fills the evening breeze
And everything just fits for me at the Dusty Boots Corral

KAT and John have built a home where the horses run and the coyotes roam
Everything just fits for me at the Dusty Boots Corral
Yeah, everything just fits for me at the Dusty Boots Corral
