along the Palo Duro canyon
Red River shows so many eyes
one eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot me
black as oil, his hair shone
lily white, his skin glistened
restless as the reed between his lips blew
it's just that mean old Texas sun
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
what day is this? i, quiet, asked the sky
what time is it? he asked me, sitting up
he's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
what are you running from? i asked the white boy
from the guys who chase me there; come run
i need your dark skin
to sit beside me in my car, and light up my cigar
i'll light you
it's just that mean old Texas sun
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
love that villain on the run
