Lyrics

Desert Highway
©️2014 Drexel Rayford, Vagrants Chapel Music, BMI

I’ve been walking a desert highway,
Dreaming of a bright green land.
And though I walk along in ignorance,
Someday, I’ll understand.

‘Cause I can see snow capped mountains
High above fruited plains.
And though I walk a desert highway,
I’m gonna drink from gentle rains.

I left my home in old Virginia,
When my lady said goodbye.
I made my way to Alabama,
Still unclear to reasons why.

But I can see snow capped mountains
High above fruited plains.
And though I walk a desert highway,
I’m gonna drink from gentle rains.

My daddy gave me a fine revolver,
Said it’d come in handy sometime.
I threw that gun in the Holston River,
From an abandoned railroad line.

‘Cause I can see snow capped mountains
High above fruited plains.
And though I walk a desert highway,
I’m gonna drink from gentle rains.
