Album: Menos El Oso (2005)

Memphis & 53rd

"Come on man," she said
"We have to leave this town
I can't stand another day without the rain"

I said, "We'll leave now
you can pack our things
Let me get the bill and I can make it straight"
It was the same as yesterday

We've been gone
And the miles stretched down the long road
We moved as fast as we could

Through the heat of the desert
And the cruelty of the Buick's seat
Just to keep on

That night we laid on the floor of the desert
But I could barely sleep, yeah I had this dream
There was a man in a black car, with a man in the back seat
And I woke up in a cold sweat with her lyin' next to me

We've been gone
And the miles stretched down the long road
We moved as fast as we could

Through the heat of the desert
And the cruelty of the Buick's seat
Just to keep on

We sat on the corner of Memphis and 53rd
As they filled the tank, we had a drink
She whispered, "Let's get moving"

That night we laid on the floor of the desert
But I still couldn't sleep
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat
I'd wake up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me
