lyrics

Alamogordo on a cold winter’s day
Put my bags on a Greyhound to get the hell away
The west was closer, so I went east
’long a peyote pavement, chasin’ coyote dreams

Never made it past El Paso got thrown out of the bus
Death made a deal with the devil, so hell came for us
The blue bodega was playing my song
When a gun went off inside, the Paisley Princess said, “Run, son!”

Tried to wade across the Rio Grande, I thought I’d be free
But the Alligator Gang was there taking their tea
Lost in the desert, no whiskey no key
Just a wild imagination and the girl of my dreams
