Lyrics
Verse 1
My canteen
Is drier than a sun-bleached bone
Resting on this mesa
Way out where the rattlesnakes moan
Pre-Chorus
Hot wind
Hollow belly
Hungry sky
Chorus
Salt on my collar
Heat on my head
Five miles of gravel
Wishing for a soft bed
Just salt on my collar
Heat on my head
Post-Chorus
Long walk
Slow walk
Dead walk
Verse 2
Boots split
Red clay staining leather deep
No water found
Inside these jagged canyons steep
Pre-Chorus
Hot wind
Hollow belly
Hungry sky
Chorus
Salt on my collar
Heat on my head
Five miles of gravel
Wishing for a soft bed
Just salt on my collar
Heat on my head
Bridge
Vultures circling high
Vultures circling low
Vultures circling round
Checking if I still breathe
Checking if I can stand
Checking if I am gone
Chorus
Salt on my collar
Heat on my head
Five miles of gravel
Wishing for a soft bed
Just salt on my collar
Heat on my head
Post-Chorus
Long walk
Slow walk
Dead walk
