The Warrior Lyrics

I spent a lifetime as a salesman covering Charlotte to Louisville

I had ten years left before my sweet reward

When they called me in the office, said "We got some bad news, Bill"

"With this new webstore, we don't need ya anymore"

So I thought I'd take some time to find myself in the wilds of Wyoming

Find somethin' real that I could hold on to

Photography had always been my dream so I brought along my Nikon

Maybe that's what I was put on earth to do

And time takes everything away

There ain't a single thing that someday won't change

But maybe this camera gives me a chance to make

Something that will remain

Captured in a frame

I saw a wild mustang stallion, he never knew a saddle or a bit

The telephoto caught him as the day was done

His chest was marked with vicious scars from the battles he had fought


And in the end, he'd won 'em all but one

A challenger had come along, strong enough to win the band away

The old warrior forced out to roam alone

And I could see the spark of his untamed heart and I saw we were the same

Both searching for a place to call our own

And time takes everything away

There ain't a single thing that someday won't change

But maybe this camera gives me a chance to make

Something that will remain

Captured in a frame

So I made some prints of my best shots and I sold 'em at the local fairs

There I felt a spark of life I thought had gone

The mustang with the setting sun became my best-selling piece

And it made me feel the warrior still lives on

I'd gone up to big sky country lookin' for some meanin'

Beaten down, feelin' lost and low

I found beauty and some grace and a little bit of healin'

And a reason for me to keep on goin'

And time takes everything away

There ain't a single thing that someday won't change

But maybe this camera gives me a chance to make

Something that will remain

Captured in a frame
