This Desert is my JAM
Ridin’ that desert wind
Bars and bottles
My only friends
This inescapable lonesome existence
Wears on my soul
Like saddle leather
Toughened by the sun
Worn by the wear
What’s mean to be
Will always prevail
I tell myself
As I gallop off in faith
This desert taught me how to trust myself
Get back up
Shake the dust off myself
Shooters and looters
Cowboys and clowns
Each one playing a role
In my rodeo
I tug at the pendant
Wear it close to my heart
If there’s one still there
I feel it beats for you
This far west Texas sky
Stretches on forever
I keep riding those sunsets
Hoping one leads back to you
This land is my home
It’s the reason I roam
Back into town again and again
