She listens to these people
Tell her their dreams and aspirations
About the time when they were five
How they thanked Jesus just for being alive
And she thinks they can't make it happen
Her boot kicks the dirt and it rises up
She leaves that neon nowhere truck stop
They keep nursing bitterness 'til they die
She pulls onto the highway under the night sky
And in the red rusted coupe de ville
In the dust behind, she can see them still
Bible in hand and the Devil in tow
Run to the desert to fly like a ghost
Yeah...that's why I waited here...to dissappear
You...You were serene dear
Passing with the time
If I had only seen behind me
Well I could've known anyway
And she can see spirits out there in the desert
And she waits alone
Out with the time and the tumbleweed
Out there where the rain can find no seed
And she thinks this is where it happens
yeah, diamondback pushes the sand aside
She's looking out over the great divide
The sun comes over the cactus tops
She turns to the East and she suddenly stopped
The face of God lies out in the desert
The face of God lies out in the desert
Out with the town and the tumbleweed
Out there where the rain can find no seed
That why I waited here...to dissappear
You...You were serene dear
Passing with the time
If I had only seen behind me
Well I could've known anyway
Life...life is too short they say
To think that way
To feel that way
Tell her their dreams and aspirations
About the time when they were five
How they thanked Jesus just for being alive
And she thinks they can't make it happen
Her boot kicks the dirt and it rises up
She leaves that neon nowhere truck stop
They keep nursing bitterness 'til they die
She pulls onto the highway under the night sky
And in the red rusted coupe de ville
In the dust behind, she can see them still
Bible in hand and the Devil in tow
Run to the desert to fly like a ghost
Yeah...that's why I waited here...to dissappear
You...You were serene dear
Passing with the time
If I had only seen behind me
Well I could've known anyway
And she can see spirits out there in the desert
And she waits alone
Out with the time and the tumbleweed
Out there where the rain can find no seed
And she thinks this is where it happens
yeah, diamondback pushes the sand aside
She's looking out over the great divide
The sun comes over the cactus tops
She turns to the East and she suddenly stopped
The face of God lies out in the desert
The face of God lies out in the desert
