Low Desert

[Verse 1]

It happened fast, it's over quick

A little dust, and the engine kicks

Did your hands drift down off the wheel?

A road owl hit your windshield?

An eyelash or a little bit of sleep?

Did time stand still?

Just call it, now, and you're on your way

[Chorus]

Hey

Hey hey

Hey

[Verse 2]

All the ashtray cities and the freeway drives

Broken casino and water-slide

The eighteen-wheeler and the payback dives

Gravity pulls on the power lines

A jetstream cuts the desert sky

This is a land could eat a man alive

Let's say you leave it all behind

[Chorus]

Hey

Hey hey

Hey

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

There's a radio tower, it's egging you on

Back to the place where you never belonged

Where the people thrive on their own contempt

Whatever meaning is long gone, spent

If you had to guess or make a bet

Would you place yourself inside of it?

The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh

"Tricked again," let go, okay

[Chorus]

Hey

Hey hey

Hey

Hey hey

Hey
