Lyrics to Crosses

Stopping for gasoline

I jump back in my truck again

Roaring through the desert

South of Magdalena

The heat seeps into my skin

Whenever I get too terribly giddy

I see crosses

On the side of the road



Rattlesnakes eager to meet me

Cactus thirsty for blood

I sip on a bottle of Coke

And roll my tobacco

My windshield's the gravestone

For a million dead bugs

From the corner of my eye

I keep seeing

Them crosses

On the side of the road



Keep my eyes wide open

And my blood running strong in my veins

Please let me see my baby again



Things crawling and dying

Wind blowing

Everything just surviving

Last cloud through here

Came and went months ago

Flowers of yellow and purple

They can mesmerize you

Keep your eyes open

And lock all of your doors



I hope that you'll

Be careful wherever you go

I keep seeing crosses

On the side of the road

Them crosses

On the side of the road
