Untitled (5 Songs from West Texas)

1.
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

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

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!

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

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
