"Lost On The Desert" lyrics - MARTY STUART

A burning hot sun, a cry for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumbling and falling, somebody's calling
You're lost on the desert to die

I had to give up and they took me to jail
But I hid all the money I got
Way out in the desert where no one could get it
And I left a mark at the spot
Then I got away I ran for desert
The devil had taken control
I needed water, but he said I'd make it
Near the money is a big water hole

A burning hot sun, a cry for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumbling and falling, somebody's calling
You're lost on the desert tonight

Well just up ahead is where left my mark
Or maybe to the left or the right
I been running all day they'll catch up tomorrow
So I've got to find it tonight
Then up jumped the devil and ran away laughing
He drank all the water holes dry
He moved all my marks till I'm running in circles
Lost on the desert lost on the desert to die

A burning hot sun, a cry for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumbling and falling, somebody's calling
You're lost on the desert to die

Lost on the desert to die
Lost on the desert to die
Lost on the desert to die
