I got your letter
I read it twice
Cause I was hot and it was
Cold as ice
You left me stranded
like a train without a track
now I'm startin' to wonder
if you're ever comin' back

I'm high n' dry
there ain't nothing left to your lover and
I'm high n' dry
It's a desert baby since you left town

I'm like the highway
You're like the stars
I'm a hitchhiker
You're like the car
I'm an island
You're the sea
I'm a prisoner, babe
Come on and set me free

I'm high n' dry
there ain't nothing left to your lover and
I'm high n' dry
It's a desert baby since you left town

Not a cloud
John Ford sky
Vultures circle
waitin' for me to die
I ain't givin' up
on you yet
I could sure use a drink
to help me forget
Yeah, to help me forget

I'm high n' dry
there ain't nothing left to your lover and
I'm high n' dry
It's a desert baby since you left town

I'm high n' dry
there ain't nothing left to your lover and
I'm high n' dry
It's a desert baby since you left town
