[Verse 1] On a quiet night driving out to Harriets again To breathe the air and soothe my mind A stranger might get lost out in the emptiness If he dont know how to read the signs [Verse 2] If Harriet isnt there I let myself in Cause when shes gone, shes gone for awhile Ill stay a couple days, this is just a little trip To get out from under the pile [Chorus] This place has got a hold on me, its got a hold on This place has got a hold on me, its got a hold on [Verse 3] The desert will remind you who you oughta be Itll show you who you are Theres nothing to protect what youre hiding And I remember when she found my mark [Chorus] This place has got a hold on me, its got a hold on This place has got a hold on me, its got a hold on [Bridge] Now I walk along the washout behind your place Lie down there in the sand And all that doesnt matter, it drifts away And the wonder takes my hand [Verse 4] Shes the bright hot sun in the cold night Shes the cold black darkness in the starlight There are those I held onto and let go [Chorus] But this ones got a hold on me, shes got a hold on This ones got a hold on me, shes got a hold on [Verse 5] Early morning, westbound on the empty 10 Californias still fast asleep Dawn is in my mirror once again The light begins to weep
