The sun was bright as it bore down on me
I was sweating it out but not from the heat
How I got lost out here is best not say
It’s how some act when a debt’s left unpaid
And though I’m frying
I dare not return to the town
I know they’re just dying
To put me ten feet under the ground
I think to myself about my life back there
Everyone wants a cut, they all want their share
You can’t afford to play by the book
And they’ll stick in the knife if you give them a look
And though I am burning
I dare not return to the town
The tide may be turning
But there’s no chance for me now
I’m in the desert sands
This is my home sweet home
The sun finally gives at the end of the day
But it’s no sign of relief, cause the cold comes again
When the hunger comes, the mirages start
And my reality starts to crumble apart
And though I am starving
I dare not return to the town
I see life and me parting
Sad that no one else is around
