Heard it on the radio today
The newsreader said there's a war on the way
And every able man is required
To sign up or hang for refusing to fight
So under desert skies I'll ride into the night
Under desert skies - alone but alive
Goodbye my love, Mary
There's panic brewing out in the streets
They're blocking the roads so that no one can leave
I thought this was a democracy
I won't be a slave in the land of the free
So under desert skies I'll ride into the night
Under desert skies - alone but alive
Goodbye my love, Mary
Out there on the road's where I'll be
The life of outlaw's all that's left for me
I don't know when I'll come back this way
I promise that we'll be together again some day
Under desert skies I'll wave the past goodbye
Under desert skies I'll wave the past goodbye
Goodbye my love, Mary
