	Story Behind the Song Written while looking over the mesa towards the Rio Grande gorge outside Taos, NM in 1995. Recorded on one take in Chicago, March 1999. Lyrics The canyon lit up like a neon sign 8,000 feet and still more to climb Top of the world Ma' and feeling so high Smoke signals rise in a puff Just me and Marie on a Sunday noon Learning to eat from each other's spoon Last ones to leave and why leave so soon When just holding hands is enough Sure the good times never last And love may be a myth And the cowboys on the Western screen Couldn't shoot from the hip But right now I see that look from Marie And man that's more than enough for me. I got coffee boiling in an empty bean can Don't worry about washing the tortilla pan We'll leave it for the critters that mooch off of man While we go out exploring the mesa tonight But the night turns us into undercover cops (Hand)-cuffing each other all night on the job And you said that the stars look just like peeking holes for God As I look up and hope not tonight With a bottle of Beam and a bag full of ice The girl of my dreams in the glow of the firelight There's no fussing or fighting about who's wrong or right She's just achingly beautiful and so Goddamn bright I can tell I'm falling fast I've been down before But this girl leaves me always wanting more I can still see so clearly her face in the night That shy laughing smile with the fire in her eyes But my heart breaks on the thought and I hear myself sigh As I awake and she's not by my side But I've got these memories and I've got this life I just felt like saying I miss you tonight
