Mesa Nights

Sun stuck high on the 202

Red brake lights

Long red queue

Snow birds talking at every light

Windows down

It still feels right

I could complain

About the noise and the heat

But every lane

Leads me where I wanna be

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)

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

Yeah

We complain

’Bout the crowds and the turnpike fumes

But I’ll remain

’Cause I’m in love with these desert moons

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)

From the strip malls glowing

To the quiet cul-de-sac

If I ever wander

These roots pull me back

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
