lyrics

I was rollin' down a stretch of Speedway
in a busted up cruiser I bought
Made it to the painted desert singing
Five years is all we got

Only took a couple of summers
for me to live out my nine lives
Now I'm stuck in a Peckinpah movie
pulling out everyone's knives

Tucson skies, Tucson Skies
lingered in my mind

Found a bit of datura
And I was feelin' about nine foot brave
A medicine man at a Circle K
said I was headed for a cactus grave

The stars twirled like a carnival
I shoulda took it as a sign
There was a girl nearby who said
Ya talk just like you were born in a blown out mine

Tucson skies, Tucson skies
burning in my mind
Tucson skies, Tucson skies
melted in my mind
