Verse: E A E B7 A E Chorus: A E A E B7 A E there i was driving fast past the desert windmill farms couldn’t see energy in their lifeless heavy arms never thought something so still could make me feel such an alarm maybe my anxious observation made them nervous to perform the outlaw sun had every one frozen like a stick-up they were praying for momentum, wondering when the wind might pick up the sharp scare of the dead air could surely cure a case of the hiccups i’m still clicking both my heels but now the dust won’t even kick up i didn’t know what to do, i didn’t know what to say i didn’t wanna go but sure as hell didn’t wanna stay can’t recall every moment but I’ll always know the the way I felt in the desert wild, a lonely child on mother’s day i slowed down near a truck stop town when something caught my sight a cactus backed against the rocks, flexing for a fight needles and pins pushing in and out with all their might it looked thirsty, at the worst, it may not make it through the night i felt sorry for that plant and the way it can’t give love how should a cactus act when it’s offered a proper hug of course i cared but wouldn’t dare to give it more than a sad shrug i looked on the ground all around but never found my kid gloves somewhere the weather’s not so hot and the ocean comes to play otters hold hands when they sleep so they don’t drift away but daughters cling to other things cause they’d drown if they stayed i thought in the desert wild, a lonely child on mother’s day

it’s raining here in Oregon, springtime blossoms soak it in
just like me, my paper, petals, my pen, of course, the stem and the bridges i keep crossing they support and transfer weight over sleepy riverbeds of time their paths comprise my fate oregon is in my body now i’ll never be the same her skies moisturize my skin her rains cleans my brain her trees have brought me to my knees in gratitude and prayer oregon is in my body now wherever i am she’ll always be there easygoing attitudes in corner pubs and cafes i relax and tap my toes to the music that she plays her people so considerate, her careful care surrounds me leaves me wanting to improve, leaves me better than she found me |
