Lyrics

You’re on the road you’re a fugitive know
You’ve got to be strong but you don’t how
A wife and a kid couldn’t stop what you did
When you grabbed the gun and you popped the lid
You came unhinged on a three day binge
In the blinding light you we’re seeing things
You know someday you’ll have to pay
While your feet are burning on the cactus highway

You haven’t got a penny you haven’t got a clue
You know damn well what will happen to you
You could disappear in another hemisphere
Have some surgery done and become no one
Or live in a cave and hunt by night
Like an animal fearing the predator’s bite
Let the paranoia settle in
And hang yourself for all your sins

Become a priest become a monk
Shoot at people from the comfort of your trunk
Find a quiet place and get shit drunk
Put a bullet in your brain once the sun has sunk
Your mind is racing and your heart is beating
And all the while your feet are burning
If you could travel back just one day
Take the next offramp off the cactus highway.
