The Desert Line Lyrics by Stan Simon

Ruins

2016

Verse 1
Driving to the border sign
With blood dripping on the floor
Robbed a bar on the desert line
And was shot running out the door
I am lost
In a wasteland so lost
In my head I drown
Pre-chorus
I walked in like a wanted man
I struck the bartender with a bottle in my hand
Chorus
I grabbed the cash like a maniac
In my car I felt a bullet in my back
Plant a rose the day I die
Lay it on The Desert Line
Verse 2
Strangled by the burning sun
Sirens are blaring hard
They’ll hang me for what I’ve done
And the highway is my graveyard
I am lost
In a wasteland so lost
In my head I drown
Pre-chorus
I walked in like a wanted man
I struck the bartender with a bottle in my hand
Chorus
I grabbed the cash like a maniac
In my car I found a bullet in my back
Plant a rose the day I die
Lay it on The Desert Line
Pre-chorus
I walked in like a wanted man
I struck the bartender with a bottle in my hand
Chorus
I grabbed the cash like a maniac
In my car I found a bullet in my back
Plant a rose the day I die
Lay it on The Desert Line
