One Night in Marfa

[Verse 1]
She was an upstate transplant, out in the Chihuahuan
Drinkin' Lone Star beer, wearin' boots with a skirt
She didn't have no local Beau, her eyes had a glow
Figured I could make myself her desert Romeo
As I ordered us a breaker for the ice

Being a cosmic cowboy, six-foot four
Stetson on my head, frame of a door
I am an artisan whiskey, left-wing Toro kind of man
Just the kind your right-wing father can't stand

It was a Thursday, Padre's throwback vinyl night
Found our common ground, found ourselves outside
She didn't mind me smoking, she liked the way I talked
I said hey babe, you wanna go for a walk around the courthouse
We were dancin' on the lawn
To an El Camino, vroom vroom
Well, we really turned it on

[Chorus]
Out in oasis, the chilly desert night
Lit up on tequila, and mystery light
You were like them lights too soon to disappear
Somewhere south of Highway 90
God knows how far from here

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Well I knew that I'd been duped, them sheets were just a ghost
No sound from a TV, no eggs, no mornin' toast
I don't know why I stay here
I don't paint and I don't draw
And I sure don't wax poetic but I would if I saw you

[Chorus]
Out in oasis, the chilly desert night
Lit up on tequila, and mystery light
You were like them lights too soon to disappear
Somewhere south of Highway 90
God knows how far from here
