Songtexte
Cattle ranches roundin' Austin
Oil fields and pump jacks exhaustin'
Resources, the course is set and we forget
We're running out of daylight
This highway stretches out forever
Flatlands and white sands sever
Ties to anything but sun, still we run
Shunning what we can't fight
We broke down just outside of Tucson
Never had much to go on so we close our eyes
And say God willing and the creek don't rise
If we choke down the medicine and hold on
Arm in arm we'll tow
This chariot, swing low
Trees all shrinking into shrubs
Parched shadows, burned out stubs of
Once tall giants swaying in the pale moonshine
Keep saying we're fine
Oh sixteen hours took a toll
You thought it over searched your soul
And like the road, can't see the end
Afraid a drought of words won't bend
A hard line, are you still mine?
We broke down just outside of Tucson
Never had much to go on so we close our eyes
Saying God willing and the creek don't rise
If we choke down the medicine and hold on
Arm in arm we'll tow
This chariot, swing low
We broke down just outside of Tucson
Never had much to go on so we close our eyes
Singing God willing and the creek don't rise
If we choke down the medicine and hold on
Arm in arm we'll tow
This chariot, swing low
