Lizard Song

I lost it in the Utah sun with sand in my eyes
Too late to run
In a mother cactus silhouette I rested
And hid from the sun
Came upon a twisted wreck and I closed my eyes

And I climbed on in so the heat could take me
Cause I ain't the kind to sit around and wait
For a lucky star to come and tease me, no

I wrestled with a freeway groove
In a blur of chrome I made my move
All my gauges read full blast
In a headlong spin my soul was caste
Then I came upon a four-mile stretch and I closed my eyes

And I stomped on the floor so the speed could take me
Cause I ain't the kind to sit around and wait
For a lucky star to come and tease me, no

I surrendered to a truckstop queen
Who poisoned me with a bowl of beans
Eyes like a cobra snake and a voice
That would send you to a dream
Then she opened up and I closed my eyes

And I climbed on in so the heat could take me
Cause I ain't the kind to sit around and wait
For a lucky star to come and tease me, no
