Current song lyrics
Tucson, Arizona<br />Rising in the heat like a<br />mirage<br />Tony keeps his Chevy<br />Like a virgin locked in<br />his garage<br />He brings it out at midnight<br />And cruises down the<br />empty boulevards<br />And he prowls the<br />darkened alleys<br />That snake between the city's<br />thirsty yards<br />The lonely desert skies reflect<br />the anger in his eyes<br />And it is dawn.<br /><br />His father died of drinking<br />And left five children sinking<br />With his mom<br />His older brother Bobby<br />Never made it back from Viet Nam<br />With high school well behind him<br />He lives at home and works this<br />shitty job.<br /><br />And he thinks his '60 Chevy<br />Is the only true amigo<br />that he's got<br />His heart is filled with sadness<br />And his soul is like some<br />ugly vacant lot.<br /><br />Mary Estelle Hanna<br />Came out from Louisiana<br />for the sun<br />A deal gone bad in Dallas<br />Left her burned and broke<br />and on the run<br />To make the rent and groceries<br />She takes this job at<br />$3.15 an hour<br />Serving shots of whiskey<br />and tequila<br />In some smoky red-neck bar<br />And she dreams some day<br />she'll make her way to L.A.<br />And become a movie star.<br /><br />Tony saw her working<br />He swallowed hard and asked<br />her for a date<br />Mary laughed and answered<br />&quot;I would but every night<br />I'm working late&quot;<br />He said he had some cocaine<br />That she could have if she'd<br />just ride along<br />She said &quot;What the hell,<br />I may a well<br />I haven't had no fun in<br />so damn long&quot;<br />He picked her up at closing time<br />They pulled out on the road<br />And they were gone.<br /><br />Tony's mom got frantic<br />When she found her son had<br />not come home<br />Mary's roommate panicked<br />And called the sheriff from<br />a public phone<br />They asked her lots of questions<br />She tried her best to tell<br />them what she saw.<br /><br />And late that night<br />they found poor Mary<br />Lying in some narrow,<br />dusty draw<br />And the coroner reported<br />that she hadn't been<br />Deceased for very long.<br /><br />Two weeks on they found it<br />Buried to the windshield<br />in the sand<br />There inside lay Tony<br />With a small revolver in<br />his hand<br />The papers simply stated<br />It must have been the<br />drugs that drove him mad<br />The neighbors speculated<br />What could make a good boy<br />go so bad?<br />Well, it might have been<br />the desert heat<br />It might have been the<br />home he never had.
