Desert on Fire

The Desert is on fire and its hotter than the sun
 Out a trucker window on a long southwestern run
 The heat is bearing down on you God's calling you a liar
 And your paper skin is tore up on the wire
 Oh the desert is on fire
 The desert is on fire and there is oil in the ground
 It only takes a spark or two to watch it all burn down
 The vultures and the rattlesnakes are taking down the prey
 And the cactus burn like candles on a yellow birthday cake
 Oh the desert is on fire
 Stand along the highway and watch it burn
 The wind is whipping ashes to the urn
 The flames are humming right along
 Just like electric wires
 Oh the desert is on fire, the desert is on fire
 The desert is on fire and there's nowhere left to run
 The flames are touching down on you just like the devils tongue
 The air is filling up with smoke and the smell of burning tires
 From the back seat I can see the flames oh they're all getting higher
 Oh the desert is on fire
 Stand along the highway and watch it burn
 The wind is whipping ashes to the urn
 The flames are humming right along
 Just like electric wires
 Oh the desert is on fire, the desert is on fire
 Stand along the highway and watch it burn
 The wind is whipping ashes to the urn
 The flames are humming right along
 Just like electric wires
 Oh the desert is on fire, the desert is on fire
