  • Along the Palo Duro canyon
    Red River shows so many eyes
    One eye squinting shading from the sun, shoot me

    Black as oil, his hair shone
    Lily white his skin glistened
    Restless as the reed between his lips blew

    It's just that mean old Texas sun
    It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

    What day is this? I quietly asked the sky
    What time is it? he asked me sitting up

    Love that villain on the run
    He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

    What are you running from? I asked the white boy
    From the guys who chased me there come run
    I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
    Light up my cigar, I'll light you

    It's just that mean old Texas sun
    It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
    Love that villain on the run
    He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
    And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
    In my head

    He said, you're only Indian in Oklahoma
    You could be melting in America
    White on red, melt with my skin
    These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel
    I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
    Light up my cigar, I'll light you

    It's just that mean old Texas sun
    It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

    The last I saw of Oklahoma
    A gas station fading in the dusk
    Goodbye to my father, I thought, I'm carrying the light
    The light of my Comanche
    Make sure the dog remembers me
    I dream the sand beneath your feet
    I hold the light

    It's just that mean old Texas sun
    It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
    Love that villain on the run
    He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
    And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
    In my head Writer/s: Kristin Hersh
