Dry Heat

Blythe, California

Construction signs

Arizona dust storm

Jumpin’ state lines

Bet on the weather you're bound to get beat

Yeah it’s damn hot but it’s a dry heat

Page, Arizona

The heels of Lake Powell

Colorado River’s

Still runnin’ somehow

Radio static, I can pick out a voice

Leavin’ somewhere like I’m given a choice

Can’t stay still, gotta keep goin

Long as this dust is gonna keep blowin’

Curve in the road is ever ongoing

And I’m

On to the next

Just last April

It snowed in Nogales

The night was bright green

Aurora borealis

They say it never ever comes this far South

Don't bet on the desert, you shut your damn mouth

Towing a line, as thin as a thread

Messages sent and left on unread

For all that you know I could be dead

I don’t stick the text

I’m just on to the next

Defendant gives it context

The prosecution objects

The judge he balances checks

The jury reads from their text

Observers crying perplexed

I stop to pay my respects

But I don’t feel the effects

So I’m on to the next

I-15

Had to pull over

Just about crashed

Like a Mars rover

Guess I’m sleepin’ in the town of Mesquite

Yeah it’s damn hot but it’s a dry heat

Can’t stay still, Gotta keep goin

Long as this dust, Is gonna keep blowin’

Curve in the road is ever ongoing

And you

You might think it's complex

But what do you expect

I don't stick to the text

and I’m onto the next
