wanna wake up in the desert. i romanticize the trucker life. red clay rock formations. now that you’re gone i don’t think straight, i’ll drive north, atlantic ice, where all your friends are dead. i’m headed west, route 66 and an old cassette when the stones play on the radio and if i forget, i try to forget, but the highway’s a memory strip for the potbelly pig nation. your baby’s at home with someone else but it’s better than sleeping alone. hit a diner, find a waitress, get the shakes out, praise the goddess of midwest country roads. they’re Godforsaken, He couldn’t hide here. there’s too much flatland, you start to fear that john denver will live again. your baby’s at home with someone else but it’s better than smoking alone. you’ve been on the road for 4 straight months. what’s better than smoking alone? nothing’s better than smoking alone. red arizona. north of the border. you know you’re gonna die in the desert.
