Turquoise rain desert champagne
I can’t even tell if this is real
Guilt and shame, it’s all part of the game
But none of these things do I feel
Half busted headlights on a dark and open road
You can run if you want to, boy, but I’ll get what I’m owed
And the cards are on the table but if you show up drunk
You’ll wind up wearing duct tape and riding in my trunk
Oh, Desert Eagle
I thought you knew my name
Desert Eagle
I’ll send you to hell just the same
Mustang wild
Restless for miles
I don’t give a damn if this is real
It’s the rage and thrill
The hunt and the kill
They’re the only thing I care to feel
Half busted headlights on a dark and open road
You can run if you want to, boy, but I’ll get what I’m owed
And the cards are on the table but if you show up drunk
You’ll wind up wearing duct tape and riding in my trunk
Oh, Desert Eagle
Well, I thought you knew my name
Desert Eagle
I’ll send you to hell just the same
Oh, Desert Eagle
I thought you knew my name
Desert Eagle
I’ll send you to hell just the same
I’ll send you to hell just the same
I’ll send you to hell just the same
