Pray For Tuscon
Dave Hause

On a sunset I-10 mile lies a body beneath a sheet

The orange sky don’t seem to mind but I’m on the edge of my seat

There’s ten thousand auto lights dead stopped in dirty Tucson heat

We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeat

Nurse defeat


It’s that same old sinking feeling, that blows on in from time to time

The only consolation comes tying despair to a rhyme

And knowing some are at home working, raising kids and saying prayers

Unaware of modern science, they may be wrong but I don’t care


They pray for Tucson, they pray for me

They pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far

Take us too far


Well we get these years to play with and I’ve been game to roll the dice

But lately staring in the mirror has been showing me the price

Of all the reckless toxic gambling; having my fate hang from a string

The lonesome nights with pills and powders, the fuel I pretend helps me sing


So pray for Tucson, pray for me


Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far

Pray for Tucson, pray for me

I hope your faith is what will carry me

If there's something past those stars


Cause the spell breaks every time I see those funeral cars

Or when they throw the floodlights on and I’m left stranded at the bar

I spend so many nights tempting fate with this guitar but I’m coming home


So pray for Tucson, pray for me

Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far

Pray for Tucson, pray for me

Pray these roads lead home and won’t take us too far

Pray for Tucson, pray for me

Pray for Tucson,

I hope your faith is what will carry me

If there's something past those stars

Pray for me.
