Desert Child Lyrics by Austin Burke

0

[Verse 1]
She's 120 in the shade
Little Bon Jovi runaway
From a made-up town
She's an Arizona sunrise
Coachella in the moonlight
Too lost to be found

Hitched a ride out of Telluride
On a mountain high and a warm breeze
Now she's sitting next to me a little
Sun kissed with a cold Corona
Little tattoo on her shoulder
Says "born free"

[Chorus]
And I won't ever have another summer night
Like the one I spent that summer
In her blue eyes and just like that sand in her hair
She left pieces of her everywhere
She'll always be my
She said she'll always be my desert child
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
She's a Colorado beauty queen
Sitting on my California king
All wrapped up
Wasn't nowhere that she had to be
She just knew that she had to leave
So she packed up

Didn't leave her name
Leave her number
Just her necklace
In the covers
Like she thought that I'd forget her
But I remember

[Chorus]
And I won't ever have another summer night
Like the one I spent that summer
In her blue eyes and just like that sand in her hair
She left pieces of her everywhere
She'll always be my
She said she'll always be my desert child

[Chorus]
And I won't ever have another summer night
Like the one I spent that summer
In her blue eyes and just like that sand in her hair
She left pieces of her everywhere
She'll always be my
She said she'll always be my desert child

She said she'll always be my desert child
