Lost On The Desert

A burnin' hot sun a cryin' for water black wings circle the skyStumblin' and fallin' somebody's callin' you're lost on the desert to dieI had to give up and they took me to jail but I hid all the money I gotWay out on the desert where no one could get it and I left a mark at the spotThen I got away and I ran for the desert the devil had taken controlI needed water but he said I'd make it near the money is a big waterholeA burnin' hot sun...[ ac.guitar ]Just up ahead is where I left my mark or it may be to the left or the rightI've been runnin' all day and they'll catch up tomorrow I've got to find it tonightThen up jumped the devil and ran away laughin' he drank all the waterholes dryHe moved my mark till I'm running in circles and lost on the desert to dieA burnin' hot sun...(Lost on the desert to die) lost on the desert to die (lost on the desert to die)
