What Took Me So Damn Long?

Drove my way from the Panhandle

To see if I could handle

Them blue eyes out in the desert

Proverbial shovel

Excavating rubble

Just to see if my heart still had its beat

And just like the Marfa sun

The thought of your touch warmed my blood

So I showed up

Hand on my hip

Ego big as Texas

‘Til I caught a glimpse

And after all this time

You still do it to me

Ain’t like no other

Leaving me to discover

What I’ve searched for all along
