lyrics

Pipestone

Down the long highway across Minnesota
And out to the prairie again
We don't know where we're going
except that it's someplace we've been.

They came here from Texas and up from Missouri
and Michigan, Huron and Penn
To lay down their weapons and greet
one another as friends.

Orion, Orion
Put your bow and your arrow away

Pipestone you drew them through centuries calling
back to your fields and your beds
To stones that were chiseled and carved
by the hands of dead men.

Now there's a diner, an A-frame transgression
That howls in the north country wind
And serves all the lowly, the dirty,
the fallen in sin.

Orion, Orion
Put your bow and your arrow away.

The campfire's dyin, the leaves are a-flyin
And winter is coming again
In the stars you can see them,
Their pipe smoke drifting away.

Back on the highway and out to Montana
The radio breathes fire in the night.
It tells you forget and to drive
and to spit and to hate.

Orion, Orion
Put your bow and your arrow away.
