You’ve Been Out In The Desert Too Long, Rick Nestler, 2006
- CHORUS
- You’ve been out in the desert too long , when 110 degrees makes you feel like you belong
- You start to love the sandstorms that’s blowing so strong , You have been out in the desert too long.
- My sister plants her flowers just to watch them die, When her Black Widow took sick, all she did was cry
- She built a cricket feeder just to hear their song, She’s been out in the desert too long
- I’ve got a brother, he’s lived here most his life, When the mercury drops to 60, he grabs a blanket & his wife
- He swears that he’s freezing, he thinks there’s something wrong, He’s been out in the desert too long
- [CHORUS]
- Now Mom’s given up daily dusting, she just shovels once a week
- she says without humidity you just don’t feel the heat
- She swears she hates snow storms so much she’d rather fight King Kong
- She’s been out in the desert too long
- Now my dad he loves the Southwest because of the cuisine
- For breakfast it’s a warm beer, Burritos, and cold beans
- A handful of Chili Peppers seems to help his day along, ‘Cause he’s been out in the desert too long
- [CHORUS]
- I ain’t complaining, that’s not what I’m here to do
- When there’s snow storms flyin’ back east, I’m headed out here too
- I love them pretty women, ‘specially when they’re wearing thongs
- I’ve been out in the desert too long
- [CHORUS]
