“Shane” is the second track from Starflyer 59’s 2010 record, The Changing of the Guard. The song is largely inspired by the fictional western hero Shane, who starred in the 1949 novel by Jack Schaefer and the 1953 film adaptation. When one reads into the lyrics, the song appears to draw comparisons...
[Verse 1]
So I told you all:
Don't try it again
You might think it's small
Until he rides it in
[Chorus]
Like Shane, he comes when you need him
Then off to the dusty trails
You know, it's a season
And you can't go home
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it don't make sense
It's best to leave it alone
It makes me feel real small
That he controls the winds
[Chorus]
Like Shane, he comes when you need him
Then off to the dusty trails
You know, it's a season
And you can't go home
[Bridge]
This ride seems long to me
It's not so far
[Chorus]
Like Shane, he comes when you need him
Then off to the dusty trails
You know, it's a season
And you can't go home
