Saddle up and out to Morning Dew The fiction bests the Armageddon on the radio And how you know these roads now Like the sun knows settin' Saddle up and out for straight lines The highways and freight lines Gives way to pace, sleepy hollows, and trace And the friction of the tires is the friction of time In these pictures of mine Of the people, of the echoes, of Saturdays in town Of the embers, of the autumn fires, of wheels on the ground You know it by the look, you know it by the porch You know it by the book These were done in by wind and weather And these were done in altogether By force and frenzy, and always crossed swords By voices heavy with others' wars You'll know it by the signs You'll know it by the book You'll know it by the yards and gardens Of the people -- full of sand, full of flowers, full of plans Of the people in God's hand, in the pocket of old land Saddle up and out, the rain come down A mile behind, two to go, then two more towns And on the way out, a husky in Tiro sets to howlin' And the people come out One side sings low, one side sings loud, one side refrains And the only thing They fear Is that Heaven just hears The common chorus here Of the people, born and raised In this corner of this old state of grace The harmony, the faith Of the people out this way
