Somewhere out west a freighter rides by You used to watch them pass with their grit in your eye And the wild dogs under darkening sky Still listen for your lonesome lullaby Way out in the desert you felt so free How you loved those hills of Joshua Tree Now there's a dusty path missing two dusty feet Is this really how you wanted it to be Everybody said you won't make it Everybody said you're no good But did you listen to them, in the end Even though you swore you never would The patch of ground where they found you that day Is godforsaken, a barren place Why did you have to go this way Why did you go this way
