I'm too tired to leave, too tired to make up my mind
I'm too tired to leave, too tired to make up my mind
may I lay down beside you, wrap you in my arms
whisper I love you, would you believe I still do

I thought I'd walk to Vegas, the heavy weight on my spine
and cross into Death Valley, the crooked way and still survive
and leave you with my footfalls falling behind
but there's no shade from you on my mind
your lips so moist and mine so thirsty

when we met I thought it was easy meant to be
like our trail of tears led me to you and you to me
maybe there's no gold, only gold diggers tools
strapped to the back of an old stubborn mule
who just won't move

cuz I'm too tired to leave, too tired to make up my mind
I'm too tired to leave, too tired to make up my mind
may I lay down beside you, wrap you in my arms
whisper I love you, would you believe I still do

Ride back
