Desert Spirit

[Verse]
Old man in the desert sun cracked his face
Living off the land in this wild
Endless space
Prickly pear for dinner mesquite smoke in the air
His hands carve stories no one else could bear
[Verse 2]
Sandstorm whispers he hums with the breeze
Under the stars he bows to the ancient trees
Barefoot in the dust where no road dares to lead
The earth gives him all he could ever need
[Chorus]
Old hippie heart beats with the land
Rough like the stone he shapes with his hands
The desert sings through his weathered soul
Life in the wild keeps him whole
[Verse 3]
Cactus blooms watch him with a silent gaze
Sunset fire sets his world ablaze
Rusty tools the only friends he keeps
Dreams stitched in leather memories that seep
[Bridge]
Time moves slow here like the creeping sand
A man with nothing yet rich in his stand
His voice a growl his laugh a distant drum
Desert winds chant where he's from
[Chorus]
Old hippie heart beats with the land
Rough like the stone he shapes with his hands
The desert sings through his weathered soul
Life in the wild keeps him whole
