DESERT WALK As I walk alone the suns slows me the shadows show me The hurt that can't be wrong, the pain inside me how it guides me Away from you - every step I take is true The steps help me walk away these lonesome blues Too much love at once hurts the longest and strains the strongest I let my love be had by a pretty stranger she held no danger Til the sin did rise and I missed those hazel eyes I'm walking now to chase away these lonesome blues Now I wished I'd listened to my mama She said son make sure you take a wife that's true But I got bright eyes in the middle of a barroom pretty Now I wish I could ask my mama what to do I still keep walking on Lord I'm thirsty, my clothes are filthy The desert stretches on My mind is empty, my boots are dusty but the pain is still here In my chest and now I fear I'll meet my maker to shake away these lonesome blues
