Verse 1
His father was a scarecrow
Born in the desert with his
hat on his head
Never missed a shot
Sharp as a Pharaoh
Tequila in the sunrise
The desert was his bed

emptiness of the desert
Yellow like a scarecrow
Black like a snake

Under the water
And the sunset made a fire above his head
In search of warmth in search of love
In search of heaven above
But all he felt was cold
And all he touched was wet
But he could see her down
a little bit deeper
And all he wanted was to
hold her to his chest
So he reached out and she reached out
And he touched her
And she drew him in
And kissed him as he breathed
his final breath
