• pray for tucson

on a sunset i-10 mile
lies a body beneath a sheet
the orange sky don't seem to mind
but i'm on the edge of my seat
there's ten thousand auto lights
dead stopped in dirty tucson heat
we crane our necks to get a glimpse
and ride on by while i nurse defeat
nurse defeat

it's that same old sinking feeling
that blows on in from time to time
the only consolation comes
tying despair to a rhyme
and knowing some are at home working
raising kids and saying prayers
unaware of modern science
they may be wrong but i don't care

they pray for tucson
pray for me
they pray these roads lead home
and won't take us too far
take us too far

well we get these years to play with
and i've been game to roll the dice
but lately staring in the mirror
has been showing me the price
of all the reckless toxic gambling
having my fate hang from a string
the lonesome nights with pills and powders
the fuel i pretend helps me sing

so pray for tucson
pray for me
pray these roads lead home
and won't take us too far
pray for tucson
pray for me
i hope your faith is what will carry me
if there's something past those stars

cause the spell breaks every time
i see those funeral cars
or when they throw the floodlights on
and i'm left stranded at the bar
i spend so many nights
tempting fate with this guitar
but i'm coming home

so pray for tucson
pray for me
pray these roads lead home
and won't take us too far
pray for tucson
pray for me
pray these roads lead home
and won't take us too far
pray for tucson
pray for me
pray for tucson,
i hope your faith is what will carry me
if there's something past those stars
pray for me
