Old desert sun, my friend, my only one
Cool desert night by the fire
With a loaded gun, below a lonely sky

They'll be coming for me, any day, any moment, any time

My boy, I ain't no hero

I ain't no martyr, no
It's too late to change the way they remember me
My girl, I ain't coming home

I know you waited so long, and time keeps dragging on
But I'll be counting the days until you're safe in my arms


Old desert sun, my friend, where have you gone
I ain't seen you shine in so long
And there's a mark for every day left on this wall

Loaded gun, I held you in my palm
And pondered on about a girl back home
I wanted her to see you ain't a part of me no more

I wanted her to see you ain't a part of me no more
