Vegas Run
The highway air feels good today
Heat a risin’ like a mirror
The rattlesnakes on a low bake
Desert sand rides on the warm wind
Nature’s soundtrack like bees abuzz
A soothing hypnotic siren
A mind numbing song stuck on play
Haunting thoughts keeping well at bay
Birds of prey circling the distance
A jackrabbit rattles a bush
The taste of a cool water drink
Refreshes a dry whiskey throat
Back astride the motorcycle
Racing toward the sinking sun
An appointment with a beauty
For a Las Vegas rendezvous
Daydreaming of bright neon lights
And hotel room champagne hot tubs
