Low Desert

[Verse 1]
It happened fast, it's over quick
A little dust, and the engine kicks
Did your hands drift down off the wheel?
A road owl hit your windshield?
An eyelash or a little bit of sleep?
Did time stand still?
Just call it, now, and you're on your way

[Chorus]
Hey
Hey hey
Hey

[Verse 2]
All the ashtray cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and water-slide
The eighteen-wheeler and the payback dives
Gravity pulls on the power lines
A jetstream cuts the desert sky
This is a land could eat a man alive
Let's say you leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Hey
Hey hey
Hey

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
There's a radio tower, it's egging you on
Back to the place where you never belonged
Where the people thrive on their own contempt
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent
If you had to guess or make a bet
Would you place yourself inside of it?
The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh
"Tricked again," let go, okay

[Chorus]
Hey
Hey hey
Hey
Hey hey
Hey
