On Death Highway
03:37

It's a weird, hazy wasteland
North of I-10
Traveling up through New Mexico
From the Big Bend
And I always regret it
If that's the way we go
Traveling up to see family
in Colorado
Colorado
Big trucks are crawling
A stretch I'd like to skip
Peering through a windshield
That the rocks will surely chip
My father grew up there
But he left long ago
But we still have plenty of family
in Colorado
Colorado
And though I talk like it is home
I never really made one there for my own
Once we got passed
the ugly mining sites
I peered out in the fog
and I saw the wildlife
The sage on the plain
Stretches so far you'll never know
Its a sight that is going to save me
When I'm about to lose my mind
And I got to make that drive
To Colorado

From Fire to Fire
02:47
|

Take what you need from me
Lean when you need to lean
Take what you need from me
Whatever that may be
When you've been trapped in a corner
The walls are all false at the border
So go where you need to go
No body needs to know
Passing from fire to fire
For sanctuary
And a hungry arm to hold you
When your feet can't carry
Take what you need for your longing
Though I'm not the one you wanted
Do what you need to do
I need it to
Passing from fire to fire
For sanctuary
And a hungry arm to hold you
When your feet can't carry

Spring-Fed Pool
02:36
|

If you wanna go swimming
I tell you something, we could drive to the beach
But then we'd be riding
For something that would feel like weeks
If you wanna go swimming
If you wanna beat the desert heat
If you wanna jump right in
And feel the fishes nip at your feet
We're going to a spring-fed pool
Hold tight
We're going to a spring-fed pool
Alright!
If you go on a weekend
Half the state has come to town
but if you go on a school day
I promise there will be no one around
We're going to a spring-fed pool
Hold tight
We're going to a spring-fed pool
Alright!
Please don't spoil our one
and only place to escape the sun
It's everybody's prize
Please don't take machines
Drain the oasis and replace it with sleaze
It's clear it shines with life
We're going to a spring-fed pool
Hold tight
We're going to a spring-fed pool
Alright!

A Circular World
03:51
|
|||
When I was young and wild
Felt like I was an only child
I love my brother, I love my sister
But we all stand our own trials
You were a little girl
Riding in a circular world
You say it doesn't matter when we met
We would have always been friends
And we'll always be friends
and I love you the best
Until this heart that beats up my chest
Finally lays me to rest
Now I don't worry at all
About who will break my fall
And about where I can give my all
When I'm strong and tall
You're the fiery core
To a rocky world
It makes no difference when we'd come together
Because that is just where we're meant
And we'll always be friends
and I love you the best
Until this heart that beats up my chest
Finally lays me to rest
Make no mistake what I say
What I say
I'm not trying to hide meaning behind
What I say
It is plain
and its that we'd always be friends
and I love you the best
Until this heart that beats up my chest
Finally lays me to rest

Can't Find the Fawn
04:54
|
|||
Now I don't know
It might have been a coyote
That took her and ran
Across these borderlands
And I can't say
Why it went that way
Sometimes it seems the evil man
Often has the upper hand
But her mother's scared
and wants to know what went wrong
She's lost out there
Where she can't find her fawn
her fawn
I don't understand
if there was a plan
How could that be at all
She was only young and small
and I know that I
gave her a hard time
But I only meant good
Like a big brother would
But her mother's scared
and wants to know what went wrong
She's lost out there
Where she can't find her fawn
her fawn
In the valley
that was fast asleep
When darkness fell
and some evil creep
Everybody's saying
it doesn't happen
Not in this place
Not in the place
So why in any place at all?
But all we need is a little peace
Maybe we can get her back
and get her life on track
