Dizzy

Along the Palo Duro canyon

Red River shows so may eyes

One eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot me

Black a oil, his hair shone

Lily white, his skin glistened

Restless as the reed between his lips blew



It's just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head



What day is this? I, quiet, asked the sky

What time is it? he asked me, sitting up



Love that villan on the run

He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

What are you running from? I asked the white boy

From the guys who chase me there; come run

I need your dark skin

To sit beside me in my car, light up my cigar

I'll light you



It's just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

Love that villan on the run

He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head



He said you're ony Indian in Oklahoma

You could be melting in America

White on red, melt with my skin

These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel

I need your dark skin...



It's just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head



The last I saw of Oklahoma

A gas station fading in the dusk

Goodbye my father, I thought, I'm carrying the light

The light of my Comanche

Make sure the dog remembers me,

I dream the sand beneath your feet

I hold the light



It's just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

Love that villan on the run

He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

And dizzy...in my head
