Pray For Tucson |
| On a sunset I-10 mile lies a body beneath a sheet |
| The orange sky don’t seem to mind but I’m on the edge of my seat |
| There’s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirty Tucson heat |
| We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeat |
| Nurse defeat |
| It’s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from time to time |
| The only consolation comes tying despair to a rhyme |
| And knowing some are at home working, raising kids and saying prayers |
| Unaware of modern science, they may be wrong but I don’t care |
| They pray for Tucson, they pray for me |
| They pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far |
| Take us too far |
| Well we get these years to play with and I’ve been game to roll the dice |
| But lately staring in the mirror has been showing me the price |
| Of all the reckless toxic gambling; |
| having my fate hang from a string |
| The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pretend helps me sing |
| So pray for Tucson, pray for me |
| Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far |
| Pray for Tucson, pray for me |
| I hope your faith is what will carry me |
| If there’s something past those stars |
| Cause the spell breaks every time I see those funeral cars |
| Or when they throw the floodlights on and I’m left stranded at the bar |
| I spend so many nights tempting fate with this guitar but I’m coming home |
| So pray for Tucson, pray for me |
| Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far |
| Pray for Tucson, pray for me |
| Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far |
| Pray for Tucson, pray for me |
| Pray for Tucson |
| I hope your faith is what will carry me |
| If there’s something past those stars |
| Pray for me |
