I drove through the desert last night

Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,

The question of my heart came to my mind:
A E
If I go on with you by my side,
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
E C#m Abm A B
Maybe if thieves stole your heart
E C#m Abm
Or maybe we just drifted apart.

I remember driving
E C#m Abm
In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood,

That paradise is buried in the dust.
