Out in the Desert Too Long

Key of C

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]
