There was no way to pick up the boys trail at night But next morning Chester and I rode out after him We tracked him all that day all the next southeast into the gypsum Hills country The land was different down there dotted with beauts and cut by narrow winding canyons This was ambush country and ideal for what Colonel Honeyman called a rendezvous point We travel slowly eyes open ready for trouble And then finally the trail let down into a rocky canyon And at the bottom we found the boy crouched over a small fire He acts like he's waiting for us. Mr. Dylan. I wish he'd waited somewhere more open I don't like being boxed up down here I got kind of a spooky feeling too. Yeah. All right.
