Lost On The Desert

Lost On The Desert - Johnny Cash

Written by：Dallas Frazier/Buddy Mize

A burning hot sun a crying for water black wings circle the sky

Stumbling and falling somebody's calling you're lost on the desert to die

I had to give up and they took me to jail

But I hid all the money I got

Way out on the desert where no one could get it

And I left a mark at the spot

Then I got away and I ran for the desert

The devil had taken control

I needed water but he said I'd make it

Near the money is a big waterhole

A burning hot sun a crying for water black wings circle the sky

Stumbling and falling somebody's calling you're lost on the desert to die

Just up ahead is where I left my mark or it

May be to the left or the right

I've been running all day and they'll catch up tomorrow

I've got to find it tonight

Then up jumped the devil and ran away laughing

He drank all the waterholes dry

He moved my mark till I'm running in circles

And lost on the desert to die

A burning hot sun a crying for water black wings circle the sky

Stumbling and falling somebody's calling you're lost on the desert to die

Lost on the desert to die

Lost on the desert to die

Lost on the desert to die

Lost on the desert to die
