lyrics

Desert Angel – © 2012 Richard Dance

V1
Headed west on the open road, in the brutal afternoon
My world was overheating, I pushed on to find my boon
I had to leave my last home, she was crazy as a loon
I need a brand new desert angel, to help me write a brand new tune

V2
It was early in the evening, when I crossed the county line
In a little dusty no-name town, I stopped to taste the local wine
The most heavenly creature I ever saw walked in right on time
If I could find a way to reach her, I knew it all would work out fine

Chorus 1
Won’t you send me a desert angel
I’m feeling down and oh so low
I need a shot of love and a dose of hope
Don't wanna be on the road no more
If I can find me a desert angel
I know my world will up and change
Sure need me a desert angel
To wash my troubles down the drain

V3
Somebody said she's just hanging' on, and playin' the game
Been livin' here for all these years, feeling other people's pain
Her last love up and left her and her heart went down the drain
The sweet little desert angel, is about to go insane

V4
So I stumbled up to the bar for a shot of whiskey and rye
She had a smile so sweet, started talkin to me and the time it flew right by
She came with me, we rode out to see the sun set in the sky
I had found my desert angel, well can we make it side by side?

Chorus 2
Won’t you send me a desert angel? I’m feeling down and oh so low
I need a shot o’ love and a dose o’ hope, don't wanna be on the road no more
Now I got my desert angel, she sure knows how to ease my pain
I need my desert angel to wash my troubles down the drain

Outro
Sweet desert angel gonna ease my pain
Gonna wash the trouble from my brain
