[Verse 1]
Sun stuck high on the 202
Red brake lights
Long red queue
Snow birds talking at every light
Windows down
It still feels right
[Pre-Chorus]
I could complain
About the noise and the heat
But every lane
Leads me where I wanna be
[Chorus]
Mesa nights
Busy days
But my heart’s on fire
Desert sky
Every star like a little choir
Cactus lined
On the road as I drive back home
Mesa nights
In this rush I don’t feel alone (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Corner store
Same old clerk
Dust on boots from a long day’s work
Neighbors waving from their drive
Tiny moments that keep me alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
We complain
’Bout the crowds and the turnpike fumes
But I’ll remain
’Cause I’m in love with these desert moons
[Chorus]
Mesa nights
Busy days
But my heart’s on fire
Desert sky
Every star like a little choir
Cactus lined
On the road as I drive back home
Mesa nights
In this rush I don’t feel alone (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
From the strip malls glowing
To the quiet cul-de-sac
If I ever wander
These roots pull me back
[Chorus]
Mesa nights
Busy days
But my heart’s on fire
Desert sky
Every star like a little choir
Cactus lined
On the road as I drive back home
Mesa nights
In this rush I don’t feel alone (Mesa nights)
In this rush I don’t feel alone
