[Verse 1] In the canyons of the great divide Familiar places That we can run and hide Are filled with strangers Walking in our houses alone [Chorus] In the great divide Nothing to decide No one else to care for or love In the great divide You won't fit in too well [Verse 2] On the horses of the carousel She rides alone with you and me She rides like she knows Wherever she goes, we'll be there On the carousel Life is going well Anyone can tell, we're in love On the Carousel You're gonna like the way you feel You and I we got caught down there In the twisted canyons Of the great divide We walked the floor Now we don't go there anymore [Chorus][x2]
