Sons Of The Desert Change Lyrics
1.Goodbye To Hello


2.Albuquerque

(chris lindsey/stephonie seekell)

I've spent twenty three nights in this one horse town
I've been jacked up, been broke down for too long
I've been bustin' my tail in the blazing sun
Watching jack rabbits watch tumbleweeds run until dawn
Something's whisperin' in my ear
That i should be light years from here in

Albuquerque where the skies are blue
(gonna take a bus take a train gonna' fly)
(prayin' she's there after all this time)
Albuquerque my heart aches for you
(stretchin' out across the lazy haze)
(haunting my dreams calling my name)

Three more days 'til i get my pay
I need my money but i can't stay another night
I've been tossin', turnin' in my bed
I can't get her out - out of my head to save my life
Shake the sand out of my boots
634 miles to you in

Albuquerque where the skies are blue
(gonna take a bus take a train gonna' fly)
(prayin' she's there after all this time)
Albuquerque my heart aches for you
(stretchin' out across the lazy haze)
(haunting my dreams calling my name)


3.What I Did Right

hat i did right sons of the desert
(drew womack/sonny lemaire)

-i have my heroes, but no one knows their names
They never asked for recognition, they never wanted fame
My granddad fought the second world war when he was just
eighteen
He spent four months as a prisoner
To give me the american dream
In my eyes he's everything, all i hope to be
And i won't forget that day he said he was proud of me

So i'll take that one day and figure out what i did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
What i did right

I have my good friends, they have a place inside my heart
But my best friend, well she holds the biggest part
She finds the good in me
She knows just what it takes
And she loves the man in me
Through all my mistakes
In my eyes she's everything, everything to me
And i won't forget the day she said, "you're all i need"

So i'll take that one day and figure out what i did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
What i did right

And i hold my newborn baby
To give her comfort while she cries
In this moment i feel helpless
il she looks into my eyes, her tears subside

So i'll take that one day and figure out what i did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
What i did right


4.Everybody's Gotta Grow Up Sometime

(chris lindsey/stephonie seekel)

Why can't i?
G.i. joe moved to mexico
He's hiding from the irs
Wearing diamond rings and livin' like a king
At an undisclosed address
Superman flew to japan
Gave up fightin' crime
He's doin' commercials for compact cars
Livin' in a big high rise

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime
To get a little slice of that big ol' american pie
Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime
Why can't i?

The ol' lone ranger bought an rv park
Somewhere in arizona
And tonto built a big casino
And owns half of oklahoma
Barbie and ken, they got a divorce
I guess that's the way it goes
She got the house and the accessories
And told ken to hit the road

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime
To get a little slice of that big ol' american pie
Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime
Why can't i?

All of my heroes abandoned their egos
And left me at home on the range
I'm still stuck and i'm still down on my luck
Waitin' for something to change

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime
To get a little slice of that big ol' american pie
Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime
Why can't i?

10.Change

(craig wiseman/mark selby)

Billy's standing out by a west texas highway
With his thumb in the morning air
He's spent 18 summers in the dust of odessa
Never getting nowhere
But he got him a misspelled cardboard
Of albuquerque standin' in the breakdown lane
He ain't lookin' for a ride so much as he's looking for a

Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change
Even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line
Where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide
Somethin's gotta change

Betty's walkin' out of a tattoo parlor
She's got curlers in her hair
She still can't believe she had a little red rose
Put right on her derriere
And she's still gotta pick up that red lace teddy
And a bottle of pink
Well her husband doesn't know it
But tonight he's in for a

Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change
Even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line
Where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide
Somethin's gotta change

Now who of us hasn't been heading home on friday
Sitting at some traffic light
Wondering what would happen if we hung a left
Instead of takin' that faithful old right
It's the human condition
A part of us wishes that life wouldn't get so tame
And we all know better than to think that's ever gonna

Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change
Even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Looking for a change
Change
Yeah a change
Looking for a change, yeah
