Lyrics
The wind and the sand can be hard on a man
but at the end of the day it’s just weather
The sweat and the grime and working overtime
But at the end of the day we’re together
I first saw you on highway 62
Riding shotgun in a pick up truck
You gave me a wink and I started to think
This little lady’s gonna change my luck
Desert kisses mean a lot
Especially if they’re all you got
Finding you dear was much harder out here
So when I did, I held on tight
I staked my claim and I gave you my name
And now you keep me warm at night
Desert kisses mean a lot
Especially if they’re all you got
So let those bitter winds blow and let the sun beat down
I’d work a million hours, as long as you’re around
The wind and the sand can be hard on a man
but at the end of the day it’s just weather
The sweat and the grime and working overtime
But at the end of the day we’re together
