"Desiree" lyrics

"Desiree"
(from "Landman (Volume II)" soundtrack)

Back roads
Texarkana back roads
Potholes
Like the ragged holes in my soul
The gravel sings a song
My wheels sing along
I'm always on my own
Whatever side I'm on

Back roads
Texarkana back roads
Cool blood running through the creek mud
Secrets I can't leak
The name that I can't speak

Desiree
Desiree

I chose to play her game
But it all went up in flames
Now the night wind calls her name
And I have myself to blame

Back roads
Texarkana back roads
Potholes
Like the ragged holes in my soul
The gravel sings a song
And my wheels sing along
I'm always on my own
Whatever side I'm on

Desiree
Desiree

Desiree
