Down the Dusty Road
Down the Dusty Road by jay bates
It is always said,
Behind the mountains are more
Mountains and mountains
Beyond the Escalante
Into the Waterpocket Fold
Mountains and ghostly shore
Down the dusty road
From the Henry’s
Into Jurassic time not told
There lies petrified wood and coprolites
And now a whole tree protrudes
From the days of dinosaurs and trilobites
Down the dusty road
We are awed by thee
We beings of unjustified vanity
