Lyrics

Sittin' in the dark in the back of a car
Just me and my guitar
With a torn-up map of the road we're on
No cell service for miles beyond
Took an exit on a whim
I had no plan
Stopped for gas and a Diet Coke can
Thought what the hell am I doin
Before I get high
Before I get high
What the hell is happenin' to my life
White-hot highway nowhere in sight
Every bad decision feels strangely right
Before I get high
Dry wind blowin' through a liquor stand
Old man smokin' with a shake in his hands
Then a girl walked out through the dust and heat
Dirty red dress and bare white feet
Looked at me like she knew my name
Like I'd been lost here all along anyway
Before I get high
Before I get high
What the hell is happenin' to my life
Buzzards circlin' in the daylight sky
Highway singin' like a swarm of flies
Before I get high
We drove for miles through border towns
Dead motels and windows down
She said you ever feel nowhere's home
As cactus shadows crossed the road
Stopped the car somewhere that night
Moon hangin' thin and white
Heard the desert say my name
You can leave but you won't change
Before I get high
Before I get high
I think I took a wrong turn in my life
Now the moon looks dead in the pale moonlight
And the girl beside me won't blink her eyes
If I disappear tonight
Just say the desert swallowed me alive
