Lyrics
Lena taps her Winston on the Valero pump's red base
Says, "This whole damn town's a geological mistake."
Miguel just grins, rolls the cold neck of a Pearl

"That ain't the worst road to be on."
[Chorus]
Maybe tonight we draw a new county line.
And maybe we're just two scorpions killing time.
[Outro]
She kills her cigarette on the sole of her boot.
The dust settles down, silent and absolute.
