Tucson

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
