Long-Distance Rider© 2002 Never ending journey, you're always on the run; A Circle-K in Tucson, a liquor store in Denver, Racing to the limits where life comes undone. Laughing queen of diamonds, dressed up for a party, Never knew what hit her, not knowing that she'd cause A shoot-out with the Rangers, frantic flight through Texas, Heading for Campeche, there was no time to pause. You made it to my beach house, I hid you in the attic. No one was the wiser, up there, lying low. Midnight cab to Brownsville, I stayed out on Padre; A Matamoros drug deal, money to go. Then one night in Dallas, I saw you at the Blue Note, Elm Street and the freeway, singing for your bread. I smiled slightly, put two Franklins in your tip jar, And I stopped to listen, but you turned your head. Long-distance rider, hitch a ride with strangers, Wake up in Phoenix and find you're Tucson-bound. Jump ship in Coolidge, head into the desert, Seven long months later, your bones will be found. |
