She's just a wild girl

going to the desert now

to see a friend

she lives inside the dirt

at the world's end

she's not a comfort girl

she's not a queen

she's just a wild girl

she's just a wild girl

i drive in snow and sleet

in ice and pain

i cross the mountains high

i call her name

down to the desert

this ain't no game

i want to hold her close

climb inside her grave
 her grave is cold

the roads are hard to hold

the lights give blind

out in the desert, friend

not much to find

she had a trailer

she had a post

the wind is howling

she is a ghost

she is a ghost

she's just a wild girl

out in the wild world

she's just a wild girl

i am alone

she's not a comfort girl

she's not a queen

she's just a wild girl

she's just a wild girl

i cannot hold
and i can't let go

the sun is weak and low

still burns my eyes

i am alone on earth

stars in the skies

i want this wild girl

to have and hold

lost in the desert

lost in the cold

man, i'm growing old

she's just a wild girl

out in the wild world

she's just a wild girl

i am alone

she's not a comfort girl

she's not a queen

she's just a wild girl

she's just a wild girl

i cannot hold
and i can't let go
