Lyrics:
The desert dust fills your eyes
The rattlesnake shake takes you by surprise
The coyotes sing in the calm of night
The cactus water goes down like fire
The City of Angels ain’t too far from here
And when I need some sin, it’s always near
The Caliente warms my bones
And the Valley of Death is a skeleton’s home
The desert toad takes me for a ride
The Lizard King’s always by my side
The hawk and eagle just want to fly
But the horizon’s hot, and the air is dry
The venom stings from the scorpion
The owl watches where I’ve been
My lips are cracked from the howlin’ wind
I need to quench my thirst and heal my skin
The mountains like paintings
The Joshua Tree
Gram died in room eight and left it all to Keith
Just a couple of miles from the Salton Sea
But a little closer to heaven for someone like me

Billy's voice ages like a fine, premium whiskey. Drink up, friends! 🥃

[@keefriff99]

His voice is just amazing...so deep and resonant.

Exactly.. like a Mark Lanegan or a Leonard Cohen but with an incredible guitar sound

Wish my daddy was here to hear this but I know he sees EVERYTHING 💗 Thank you for this blessing! In memory of the "Eagle" ❤❤❤❤

[@shanebush2751]

An instant classic from this amazing legend.

[@johndundis3271]

King of cool. The Reverend Billy Fitzgerald Gibbons.

[@jemogan]

Positively dripping and saturated with mood, which is something that today's artists mostly don't even attempt. Even without the lyrics it'd make you think of film noir and road trips and the desert. Makes me wish I had a nearby hot desert where I could go for a long drive with this tune cranked up (bowing to the Reverend Billy...). I feel saved....

[@sladesmith3385]

Wow may save rock and roll with this one. Natural born killers
