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
