Well this desert sun's a demon
Guns seem so out of place
Now the enemy is obvious to me
Blistering my face!
It's no time to whine
No weakness will do
No lamentations
Will get me through
I came in loud over the border
Sure was a show
I was high as a kite
But flying just too damn low
Nose dived in the sand
Jumped out of the plane
A million dollars
Up in flames
A million dollars of something up back up in flames
A million dollars, life-changing stash down the drain
Nose dived in the sand
Jumped out of the plane
A million dollars
Up in flames
A million dollars of something up back up in flames
A million dollars, life-changing stash down the drain
Well is that a mirage or is the end of this desert
Finally in sight?
I talk to myself and, man, I argue
About how I got in this plight
Bought into business
A small country store
Too far off the main track
Not there anymore
A million dollars of something up back up in flames
A million dollars, life-changing stash down the drain
Bought into business
A small country store
Too far off the main track
Not there anymore
A million dollars of something up back up in flames
A million dollars, life-changing stash down the drain
A million dollars of something up back up in flames
A million dollars, life-changing stash down the drain
