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
