#VERSE
Janet was fourteen
So was I
Jumped off the cliff
At our middle school hayride
#PRE-CHORUS
Cool autumn air
A look in her eyes
Thought I was ready for love
First kiss a surprise
#CHORUS
Now I’m trapped
In the canyon of love
Trapped
In the canyon of love
#VERSE
She was a great kisser
Cuddled so tight
Now that hayride chill
Has frozen my life
#PRE-CHORUS
Looking back now
From age thirty-three
Was I too young for love?
Will this pain ever leave?
#CHORUS
I’m trapped
In the canyon of love
Trapped
In the canyon of love
Jumped off that sensuous cliff
Bounced on rocks and got crushed
Trapped
In the canyon of love
#BRIDGE
Before we graduated
We were getting it on
I was playing her tune
She was singing my song
But then I heard rumors
About the marching band
She was blowing the horn
Of Sousaphone Dan
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
I saw Janet’s prom pictures
From the end of twelfth grade
Janet and Dan in spring flowers
I’m still in the cold shade
#CHORUS
Trapped
In the canyon of love
I give myself to a woman
But I just can’t trust
I still hear a marching band
Playing Taps for us
Yeah, I’m trapped
In the canyon of love
#CHORUS
Trapped
In the canyon of love
Jumped off the cliff
A little too young
I lie at the bottom
In a river of mud
Trapped
In the canyon of love
#OUTRO
Trapped
In the canyon of love
Trapped
In the canyon of love
