Made Nogales over night
Through the desert in the yellow light
Missing everything I left behind
Will they see me coming?
Do they know I'm running?
Got to Tucson in the dark
Keeping eye out for the law
500 miles or more from a broken heart
Can they see me coming?
Do they know I'm running?
It's a long, long way to Gila Bend
One silver dollar in my hand
Road twists and turns, is there no end?
When I get there
I can lay my head in Gila Bend
Saw a church along the way
Place to hide, to kneel and pray
Help me make it maybe one more day
Can they see me coming?
Do they know I'm running?
It's a long, long way to Gila Bend
One silver dollar in my hand
Road twists and turns, is there no end?
When I get there
I can lay my head in Gila Bend
