lyrics

She works days, I work nights
I come home late, she turns out the light
Without a word

Like a prairie dog I run wild
Living hard to numb the miles
A million miles

We can't go on like this
Something's gotta change
Are you lonesome too
Out on the range?

She took the kids to Birmingham I
Packed my case and left the band
Just another journeyman

On the long drive under diamond skies
Southbound in the dashboard light
Then our song came on the radio

We don't have to live like this
Something's gotta change
Are you lonesome too
Out on the range?

Out on the range, is a desert rose
In the burning dust and wind still it grows
So drive with me tonight, under sapphire skies
To the Rose of El Paso

Out on the range, is a desert rose
Borderland, the Rio Grande winding slow
So drive with me tonight, in the dashboard light
To the Rose of El Paso
So drive with me tonight under cold Texas skies
To the Rose of El Paso

I stop on the hard shoulder to watch the river flow
Oh, still it goes
The butterfly wings through pale blue sky to the desert rose
Oh
