There's a dark desert Highway with cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light, my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the door way, I heard the mission bell, I was thinkin' to my self, this could be heaven or hell.
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way, there were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say!
