Driving Through the Desert — dbuck

Verse 1

Sun bleeds red on an endless road,
Tires hum low with a heavy load.
Heat waves dance on the silver line,
Every mile feels like crossing time.

Chorus

Driving through the desert with the engine slow,
Dust in my lungs and the wind won’t blow.
Sky burns gold, then it turns to black,
Ain’t no telling if I’m coming back.

Verse 2

Mountains rise like the bones of gods,
Shadows crawl from the canyon rods.
Radio’s dead but the static sings,
While the night unfolds its ancient wings.

Chorus

Driving through the desert with the engine slow,
Dust in my lungs and the wind won’t blow.
Sky burns gold, then it turns to black,
Ain’t no telling if I’m coming back.

Bridge

Moon climbs up with a crooked grin,
Stars pour down like they’re pulling me in.
Every turn feels like déjà vu,
And the road just ends where the sand runs through.

Outro

Driving through the desert…
Underneath that endless dome…
Don’t know where I’m headed,
But it feels like home.
