Lyrics

“Cactus Flower”
There’s a scarecrow in the field
And it’s wearing my clothes
I stare into its eyes
And hitch on down the road
The clouds begin to break
And I take off my hat
Wash my face in the rain
And let my troubles roll off my back

And the cactus flower
In the heat and dry dirt
Where beauty rarely blooms
In this land of hurt
In this land of hurt

40 year old skin
Leather and dust
All the joy in my soul
Trying to keep it from rust
Fried and forgotten
Dreams disappear like steam
Looking for some hope
In a town that’s so mean

And the cactus flower
In the heat and dry dirt
Where beauty rarely blooms
In this land of hurt
In this land of hurt

Pretty petals in the sun
Purple and pink for everyone

And the cactus flower
In the heat and dry dirt
Where beauty rarely blooms
In this land of hurt
In this land of hurt
In this land of hurt
In this land of hurt
In this land of hurt
