On a sunset I-10 mile lies a body beneath a sheetThe orange sky don't seem to mind but I'm on the edge of my seatThere's ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirty Tucson heatWe crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeatNurse defeatIt's that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from time to timeThe only consolation comes tying despair to a rhymeAnd knowing some are at home working, raising kids and saying prayersUnaware of modern science, they may be wrong but I don't careThey pray for Tucson, they pray for meThey pray these roads lead home and won't take us too farTake us too farWell we get these years to play with and I've been game to roll the diceBut lately staring in the mirror has been showing me the priceOf all the reckless toxic gambling; having my fate hang from a stringThe lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pretend helps me singSo pray for Tucson, pray for mePray these roads lead home and won't take us too farPray for Tucson, pray for meI hope your faith is what will carry meIf there's something past those starsSongtexteCause the spell breaks every time I see those funeral carsOr when they throw the floodlights on and I'm left stranded at the barI spend so many nights tempting fate with this guitar but I'm coming homeSo pray for Tucson, pray for mePray these roads lead home and won't take us too farPray for Tucson, pray for mePray these roads lead home and won't take us too farPray for Tucson, pray for mePray for Tucson,I hope your faith is what will carry meIf there's something past those starsPray for me.
