The Road to Gila Bend

Made Nogales over night

through the desert in yellow light

missing everithing 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?

Its 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

A 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
