"Dry Heat" lyrics

Blythe, California
Construction signs
Arizona dust storm
Jumpin' state lines
Bet on the weather you're bound to get beat
Yeah, it's damn hot but it's a dry heat

Page, Arizona
The heels of Lake Powell
Colorado River's
Still runnin' somehow
Radio static, I can pick out a voice
Leavin' somewhere like I'm given a choice

Can't stay still, gotta keep goin'
Long as this dust is gonna keep blowin'
Curve in the road is ever ongoing
And I'm
On to the next

Just last April
It snowed in Nogales
The night was bright green
Aurora borealis
They say it never ever comes this far South
Don't bet on the desert, you shut your damn mouth

Towing a line, as thin as a thread
Messages sent and left on unread
For all that you know, I could be dead
I don't stick the text
I'm just on to the next

Defendant gives it context
The prosecution objects
The judge, he balances checks
The jury reads from their text
Observers crying perplexed
I stop to pay my respects
But I don't feel the effects
So I'm on to the next

I-fifteen
Had to pull over
Just about crashed
Like a Mars rover
I guess I'm sleepin' in the town of Mesquite
Yeah it's damn hot but it's a dry heat
Can't stay still, Gotta keep goin
Long as this dust, Is gonna keep blowin'
Curve in the road is ever ongoing
And you
You might think it's complex
But what do you expect
I don't stick to the text
And I'm onto the next
