[Verse]
Katie from the Midwest
Where the skies stretch wide
Packed her life in boxes
Left her tears behind
The cornfields waved her off
The highway called her name
She chased the Arizona sun
Searching for a change
[Prechorus]
But the cactus shadows grew long
And the nights felt too quiet
Too wrong
[Chorus]
Katie in the desert
Where the dust meets the sky
She whispered to the mountains
"Why'd he have to die?"
But the wind carried answers
In a voice soft and true
Katie found her heart again
When she found you
[Verse 2]
Her father’s voice still lingers
In the songs of the past
But the weight on her shoulders
It was fading fast
She met him in the twilight
Under a painted hue
His eyes held a promise
A world she never knew
[Prechorus]
The stars began to align
Her heart beating in time with his sign
[Chorus]
Katie in the desert
Where the dust meets the sky
She whispered to the mountains
"Why'd he have to die?"
But the wind carried answers
In a voice soft and true
Katie found her heart again
When she found you
