Lyrics
Spent a couple years in Mexico
In a desert town,
No trees
No cars
No phone
Feelin' alone....so alone
Drown my sorrows at a local bar
No one around
Just me and my guitar
Wishin' on stars...wishin on stars
(Chorus)
And now it's gonna be another cactus Christmas
Another year without snow
It's gonna be another cactus Christmas
I'd give anything to be back home...back home
Siftin' through the wreckage of a broken heart
Tryin' to understand the world of which I'm part
It's not very smart
So damn hard
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I walk into the darkest part of night
Pray for rain to cleanse my soul for awhile
If I could find the star that guides my life
I'd follow it home...
Follow it home....
Back home...
Wouldn't mind a little company
A friendly face is all that I would need
Just you and me...
You and me....
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
