Desert  Flower

Hitchhike into eternity  
you're searching  
   for the blue-grass    
Tho, these fields are greener  
you've got to carry on    
So, fix your self a fat-tire    
I'm looking for a reason    
to keep you  
     past your bed-time    
& enjoy this summer season    
     
CHORUS:      
Oh- my    
I've found a desert flower    
It grows upon a cactus    
to protect it from the showers    
It's soft to the touch    
but it just might hurt  
               to squeeze    
So, hold- on gently    
I'm asking baby please     
   
It's been so-oh  long    
Since you've had  
     to patch things up    
that you do--n't remember    
How it feels to be alone    
So, have a sip of sun-shine      
Learn to play them bones    
Sign a- new lease on lyfe    
& find a place called home    
   
CHORUS:Oh my...  
    
Can I come to see you    
when I can't afford a thing    
to talk about the weather    
or give you my advice;  
    
       Now your not too drunk    
          to hear the truth      
      so read between the lines    
        It's been a while    
          since you walked in the door    
           but you haven't left my mind  
   
CHORUS:Oh my...    
     
Pick me up & put me down    
        I'm going out of my way    
but it ain't too far    
      to get back to    
where I was before    
   
So, sit on this old porch-swing      
tell me where you've been    
Do all- those sweet things    
that make this poor man grin    
   
CHORUS:Desert flower...    
     
         Rolling in high-water    
I'm bound to save a soul    
Gunna go against the current    
until every man's ashore    
   
        So let the- wind loft you    
           to where ever it may blow      
        So I can sense this feeling    
             where ever I want to go...
