Little girl in saddle shoes
Dancing in my mamas room
I still hear her singing to me
She sang of life
She sang of love
And everything I would become
And how I'd meet the man of my dreams
But I was born of desert fire
Driven by my one desire
Traded all I had for the great unknown
A bleeding heart I don't possess
And when I'm finally laid to rest
I will die alone
Yes, I will die alone
I left the church
I've left the man
I left behind a lively plan
I heard the Devil call out to me
No diamond ring
No wedding band
The love I had slipped through my hands
And I will never be free
Cause I was born of desert fire
Driven by my one desire
Traded all I had for the great unknown
A bleeding heart I don't possess
And when I'm finally laid to rest
I will die alone
I will die alone
Standing in the dead of night
Gazing by the firelight
Beneath the silver stars and a moon of gold
A shadow, a silhouette, to every soul I've ever met
The memories I can't forget that've grown so cold
Cause I was born of desert fire
Driven by my one desire
Traded all I had for the great unknown
A bleeding heart I don't possess
And when I'm finally laid to rest
I will die alone
Yes, I will die alone
I will die alone
