Horse head cuts through the bone dry air
The sting of a yellow jacket
Squint for the points of a prickly pear
Moisture on my mind
Drag along a dry river
Staring at tracks in the sand
Cliffs in the sun quiver
Didn’t go like I planned
Farther and farther away
Away from my dying and my savior
Spikes and spurs
Arrow head cuts through the bone dry air
The sting underneath my jacket
Lying there a blade just below my hair
Moisture on my mind
Drag along a dry river
Staring at tracks in the sand
Cliffs in the sun quiver
Didn’t go like I planned
Farther and farther away
Away from my dying and my savior
Spikes and spurs
