lyrics

I headed south on 35
Cut west on I-10
Trying to make my way to California
But Texas just won’t end
Blown out tires, roadside shrines
Desiccated deer
Are You Prepared to Meet Your Maker
Repent, The End Is Near
Thirteen hundred miles behind me
Twelve hundred more to go

Passing through the lands of Comanche
Caddo, Kiowa
Wonderin’ out loud
What the hell is a gulch
What’s a gully what’s a draw?
Stop checking the time, watching the miles
The flashing engine light
Ain’t no way I’m gonna make it on time
Unless I drive straight through the night
1500 miles behind me
A thousand more to go

Finally seein’ signs for mountain time
El Paso straight ahead
In the rearview
Every Cormac McCarthy
Book I ever read
Hello Las Cruces, Tucson, and Phoenix
Goodbye red dirt wind
Adiós a Texas
Lord, I thought you’d never end
1800 miles behind me
700 more to go
