Lyrics
We trace the county line on a sweating can of Coors
Say tomorrow's just another door
We tune the radio to a station out of Yuma
And pray the dust is just a rumor
[Verse 1]
It's quarter 'til midnight, the last hour of August
The asphalt's breathing back the hundred-degree day
We watch the heat lightning put on a silent show for us
And try to find some other words to say
[Chorus]
We trace the county line on a sweating can of Coors
Say tomorrow's just another door
We tune the radio to a station out of Yuma
And pray the dust is just a rumor
[Verse 2]
"Headgates close at sunup," is the whisper down the line
Another season's promise turning hardpan-dry
"Don't you start," says Rosa, tapping on a stop sign
"We ain't the first ones 'neath this sky."
[Chorus]
We trace the county line on a sweating can of Coors
Say tomorrow's just another door
We tune the radio to a station out of Yuma
And pray the dust is just a rumor
[Bridge]
There's a promise that we make in the diesel-scented air
Swear an engine coughs a kind of prayer
[Outro]
Tomorrow's just another door
On the Brawley-El Centro corridor.
