lyrics

Breeze in my hair as we drive through town 
Those jagged peaks turn red when the sun goes down
 Slip your hand in mine, sun warmin our bones
 Fingers cool and smooth as river stones  

I’ll never tire of those organ pipes
 Purple majesties carved on turquoise skies
 Don’t even get me started on the starry nights 
Or how the full moon bathes sands glowin white

  I think a chamber of my heart found a home out there 
Wrapped up in the roots of a prickly pear
 Find my soul in the gramma with Grey Fox tread 
Watching Red-tailed Hawks circle overhead  

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Brushing my lips on your sun-kissed shoulder 
Thunder bellows and buffalo clouds roll over 
Every leaf tilts a face to the darkening sky 
Every cell in the desert breathes a grateful sigh

  I think a chamber of my heart found a way to hide
 In a den of coyotes in the mountainside
 Find my soul flying high with a rust red tail
 Daring to hope justice will prevail  

Maybe one day I’ll be playing office games 
And the gusts of March will call my name 
Catch a whiff of creosote in a city rain...

 Maybe then I’ll hitch a ride or catch a plane  
to the land that stole my heart away  
Maybe then I’ll hitch a ride or catch a plane
 to the land that stole my heart away 
Maybe then I’ll hitch a ride or catch a plane
 to the woman that stole my heart away 
Maybe then I’ll hitch a ride or catch a plane  
to the woman that stole my heart away
