lyrics

THE CROSSES
lyrics & music by Steve Blodgett

the sun comes up
in a clear blue sky
I pick you up at a quarter to nine
now I'm coming through the desert
I'm rolling through the desert
hi, baby, hi, baby, hi, baby, hi
put your troubles in the backseat and we'll go for a ride
I won't tell you where we're going 'cause it's a surprise
you got those little bitty babies with the big brown eyes
you got those tour busses falling out of the sky
if your heart don't beat like a drum
you're dumb

black is black
and white is white
you've never seen such a beautiful sight
everybody's shaking, everybody's baking
try, baby, try, baby, try, baby, try
you got your troubles in the backseat and we're out for a ride
if I don't tell you where we're going will it be a surprise
you got those little bitty babies with those big brown eyes
you got those old folks driving anything they can drive
if your heart don't beat like a drum
you're dumb

everybody says call before you come
everybody calls but nobody comes
everybody calls but nobody comes

the moon comes down on silver sand
silence falls over the land
now we're sleeping in the desert
we're sleeping in the desert
dream, baby, dream, baby, dream, baby, dream
about the sky and the road and the light in between
about the time gone by do you know what I mean
you got those little bitty babies with those big brown eyes
you got the tour busses falling out of the skies
you got the dead armadillo by the side of the road
you got those little white crosses all in a row
you got Los Cruces, New Mexico
we're so damn dumb
