Hot Desert Night Lyrics

On a hot summer day

'Bout an hour away

From where he's supposed to be

With the sun going down

In that Palm Desert town

Pretending he's free

He sits on the stool

Like a crazy old fool under a buzzing neon light

He casually checks out the spot

Orders up another shot

And waits for his chance to make some romance

On a hot desert night

Before he can think

Has too much to drink

Defenses are down

They both leave the bar

And he drives the car

To the dark side of town

They spring for a room

Step into the gloom of a dank and musty space

Gets it done and gets out of that place

Never even looks at her face

Puts the pedal to the metal and begins to race

Through the hot desert night

It was hot as the Devil that day

Wrapped up his soul and he gave it away

Everything he once felt was right

Melted away in the hot desert night

On the way back west

With a lump in his chest

He never felt so alone

The blades of the turbines

Cut through the wind

Like a knife to the bone

He crawls into bed

With a throbbing head and a heart that's sunk too deep

He's never going to get to sleep

He's never going to get it right

Lying to himself and to everyone else

On a hot desert night
