Desert Woman

A thousand miles of desert- a million tons of sand

A few less pounds of woman- a tired broken man

A parching thrist that water couldn't quench

My desert woman this frontier's only pearl

How can I penetrate her lonely desert world?

She doesn't need no make up- the sun powders her nose

Natural, unshaven from her armpits to her toes

A love as empty as a broken neon sign

Only thing in common was her Levi's size and mine

Now the desert shows no mercy to the timid or the weak

So as she left the diner, I climbed into her jeep

She did the rest, introduced me to this land

Now she's my desert woman and I'm her desert man

Like the lone coyote from this land I'll never stray

A pound of Sioux peyote couldn't make me feel that way
