Lyrics

Well, I drove for the border of East California on a warm summer night
Where the Panimints color their edges with black lines and dark red wine
There's millions of stars but I can't see that far past my own headlights
And I might drive all night to L.A. just to see the old Hollywood lights

Vegas was a smash till I lost all my cash playing' slots till dawn
So I gave up on gamblin' and started my ramblin' down this road I'm on
I crossed Walker pass, I was flyin' so fast for Lake Isabella
She was a beauty in her yesteryear, now she's filled out quite well.
And the Kern River cries as it flies over boulders down the canyon walls
I wish I was as high as the Eagle in the sky above us all, 'bove us all.

For every horizon I see brings you close and closer to me
Every dark road that I ride brings you nearer to me with each mile.
I get lost in your wide-open skies and your desert eyes

I pulled th car over on a dark, dusty shoulder of 395
For here you were calling, you said "Quit yer stallin' and head North tonight!
I'll meet you in Lone Pine, we'll take a ride around the Alabama Hills,
Maybe we'll catch us a cowboy, like in them old Western Films
or we'll hike Fossil Falls, where the lava once poured now the black rock shines
We'll make love underneath the old Joshua tree in the bright moonlight, bright moonlight"

For every horizon I see brings you close and closer to me
Every dark road that I ride brings you nearer to me with each mile.
I get lost in your wide-open skies and your desert eyes

So. we'll drive for the border of East California on a warm summer night
Where the Panimints color their edges with black lines and dark red wine
There's millions of stars but I can't see that far past the love of my life
And I won't drive all night to L.A. , I only need your desert eyes tonight
