Along the Palo Duro canyon
Red River shows so many eyes
One eye squinting, shaded from the sun
Shoot me
Black as oil, his hair shone
Lily white, his skin glistened
Restless as the reed between his lips blew
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
He said, "You're only Indian in Oklahoma"
You could be melting in America
White on red, melt with my skin
These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel
I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I'll light you
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
The last I saw of Oklahoma
A gas station fading in the dusk
Goodbye, my father
I thought, "I'm carrying a light"
The light of my Comanche
Make sure the dog remembers me
I dream the sand beneath your feet
I hold the light
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
You said
"I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I'll light you"
It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
In my head
