lyrics

I’ve been Driving 16 hours on the road, and I’m rolling, everything before the border control.
Forgetting all I left behind, I’m drowning my sorrows in whiskey wine
The sun is burning; I’m starring down on a crimson sky
Then I saw her on the side of the road, lord she came out of the mist
I felt a shiver straight to my bones, from my boots right to my fist.
I was touched by a desert rose, back in Nam, I was kissed by a desert rose
Back in Nam.
Well We’ve been drinking, you can smell the fumes forming off our breath.
Drunk and stinking, driving in a melting pot of stench
We’re going here & there & back again, so tell your neighbors’ tell your friends,
That we’re coming home
We’re going here & there & back again, so tell your neighbors’ tell your friends to keep our beers cold, back in Nam.
Then she came & took my hand, it sent shivers down my spine, as we fell into the sand and then she blew my mind
