Tucson, Arizona | |
Rising in the heat like a mirage | |
Tony keeps his | |
ChevyLike a virgin locked in his garage | |
He brings it out at midnight | |
And cruises down the empty boulevards | |
And he prowls the darkened alleys | |
That snake between the city's thirsty yards | |
The lonely desert skies reflect | |
The anger in his eyes and it is dawn | |
His father died of drinking | |
And left five children sinking with his mom | |
His older brother | |
BobbyNever made it back from | |
VietnamWith high school well behind him | |
He lives at home and works this shitty job | |
And he thinks his '60 | |
ChevyIs the only true amigo that he's got | |
His heart is filled with sadness | |
And his soul is like some ugly vacant lot | |
Mary Estelle | |
HannaCame out from | |
Louisiana for the sun | |
A deal gone bad in | |
DallasLeft her burned and broke and on the run | |
To make the rent and groceries | |
She takes this job at dollar 3.15 an hour | |
Serving shots of whiskey and tequila | |
In some smoky red neck bar | |
And she dreams some day | |
She'll make her way to | |
L.A and become a movie star | |
Tony saw her working | |
He swallowed hard and asked her for a date | |
Mary laughed and answered"I would but every night I'm working late" | |
He said he had some cocaine | |
That she could have if she'd just ride along | |
She said, "What the hell, I may a wellI haven't had no fun in so damn long" | |
He picked her up at closing time | |
They pulled out on the road and they were gone | |
Tony's mom got frantic | |
When she found her son had not come home | |
Mary's roommate panicked | |
And called the sheriff from a public phone | |
They asked her lots of questions | |
She tried her best to tell them what she saw | |
And late that night they found poor | |
MaryLying in some narrow, dusty draw | |
And the coroner reported | |
That she hadn't been deceased for very long | |
Two weeks on they found it | |
Buried to the windshield in the sand | |
There inside lay | |
TonyWith a small revolver in his hand | |
The papers simply stated | |
It must have been the drugs that drove him mad | |
The neighbors speculated | |
What could make a good boy go so bad? | |
Well, it might have been the desert heat | |
It might have been the home he never had |
