Desert Blues

Can't get no this and I can't get no that

Can't get no, you know I don't even know where it's at

Ain't got the smoke and uh, ain't no booze

Got them low-down, dried-out desert blues

Yes, I do

Uncle George callin', said, "I had to go"

Just what he wanted, I did not know

I'm over here dug in, so far from home

Lookin' all around, tryin' to see what's goin' on

I got the sand in my collar, got the sand in my hair

Got it in my pockets, got it everywhere

I got sand in my shirt, got it in my shoe

Got them low-down, dried-out desert blues

Yes, I do, oh-oh-oh

Joined up in the army where it was hard to find

End up over here, got my young ass on the line

But I'll be right here until my work is done

If I get back home, I hope I never see no more guns, now

Here across the ocean

I left all my good friends behind

I hope somebody's thinkin' about me

Especially that sweet little woman of mine, hey

Hey, hey, yeah

Yeah, hey, yeah

Uh-huh

Can't get no this and I can't get no that

Can't get no, you know I don't even know where it's at

Sand in my collar, got the sand in my hair

Got it in my pockets, got it everywhere, uh-huh

I got sand in my shirt, got it in my shoes

Got them low-down, dried-out desert blues

Yes, I do, oh-oh

Yeah, he-hey

Oh-oh-oh
