Flashlights in the Canyon
Track nine of Heat of July, a story song inspired by an experience on the Texas-Mexico border.
Briscoe, from Heat of July (2025)
Lupton, quoted via a Rolling Stone summary, called it a story inspired by an experience he had along the Texas-Mexico border. Reviewers describe a woman near the border who sees lights outside her home and sleeps with a pistol nearby, and a wary Texan who helps a pregnant woman left in the desert by the group she crossed with; Whiskey Riff named it a personal favorite. It was not a single and has no official video, though Turtlebox Audio filmed a session of it. Setlist.fm counts 77 performances across 166 setlists. We found no covers or samples.
