[Verse 1]
Wasteland
The wind whips a shadowy pair
A horse and a man
Ride as fast as they can
Through an ocean of sand
A forsaken land
This wasteland
[Verse 2]
There's no rest with the sinking of sun
They ride through the waste
They left Reno in haste
Now they burn with a thirst only water can slay
[Chorus]
Ride
They must ride through the parched, barren ground
Hide
They must hide where they'll never be found
Ride old Dan when he's with fear
For the end may be near
The howling winds leer all around
[Chorus][Reprise]
Ride
They must ride through the parched, barren ground
Hide
They must hide where they'll never be found
Ride old Dan when he's with fear
For the end may be near
The howling winds leer all around
[Verse 3]
Wasteland
Perhaps they'll reach water by dusk
Or the bones of a man
May lie bleached in the sand
Stilled by the hand
Of the wasteland
