Desert High Billy F Gibbons

[00:20.22] The desert dust fills your eyes
[00:24.23] The rattlesnake shake takes you by surprise
[00:29.64] The coyotes sing in the calm of night
[00:34.54] The cactus water goes down like fire
[00:39.41] The City of Angels ain't too far from here
[00:44.06] And when I need some sin, it's always near
[00:48.98] The Caliente warms my bones
[00:53.26] And the Valley of Death is a skeleton's home
[00:58.59] The desert toad takes me for a ride
[01:02.87] The Lizard King's always by my side
[01:07.96] The hawk and eagle just wanna fly
[01:12.38] But the horizon's hot, and the air is dry
[01:17.55]
[01:26.94] The venom stings from the scorpion
[01:32.02] And the owl watches where I've been
[01:36.92] My lips are cracked from the howlin' wind
[01:41.18] I need to quench my thirst and heal my skin
[01:46.48] The mountains like paintings, the Joshua Tree
[01:51.14] Gram died in room eight and left it all to Keith
[01:56.16] Just a couple of miles from the Salton Sea
[02:00.75] But a little closer to heaven for someone like me
[02:06.24]
