Hot Night On A Dark Road

By the sunset down in the desert there’s sharp light
On a shy girl with a road map
On the western drive to an apartment in L.A.
She fumbles her sunglasses and her baseball cap
She’s new to the game we’re pumping gas in Arizona
And I say yeah…

Chorus

Out there it’s a hot night on a dark road
You can find a way to let the world in
Leave the troubles of a little town behind
Drive all night roll up on the city and a way that you imagine

You make friends you work as a waitress
Looks like change but it’s hard to be sure
Then the rusty sky and yoga class
Remind you it’s nothing like it was before
Well almost you hooked up with a guy
Who couldn’t even see himself but that’s all right now

Chorus

A peaceful girl rides among the false and the furious
She becomes her possibilities and meditations
The trying times concerning her heart and her bank account
She improves with poetry and mystic calculations

Chorus

In the rusty sky…
