Billy F Gibbons - Desert High

[00:20.22] The desert dust fills your eyes [00:24.23] The rattlesnake shake takes you by surprise [00:29.64] The coyotes sing in the calm of night [00:34.54] The cactus water goes down like fire [00:39.41] The City of Angels ain't too far from here [00:44.06] And when I need some sin, it's always near [00:48.98] The Caliente warms my bones [00:53.26] And the Valley of Death is a skeleton's home [00:58.59] The desert toad takes me for a ride [01:02.87] The Lizard King's always by my side [01:07.96] The hawk and eagle just wanna fly [01:12.38] But the horizon's hot, and the air is dry [01:17.55] [01:26.94] The venom stings from the scorpion [01:32.02] And the owl watches where I've been [01:36.92] My lips are cracked from the howlin' wind [01:41.18] I need to quench my thirst and heal my skin [01:46.48] The mountains like paintings, the Joshua Tree [01:51.14] Gram died in room eight and left it all to Keith [01:56.16] Just a couple of miles from the Salton Sea [02:00.75] But a little closer to heaven for someone like me [02:06.24]
