I was driving through the deserts of California
From Modesto to the southern shore now
And when I turned that radio dial
That Bible belt revival with no style
I listened to it for a little while, then I had to turn it off
'Cause when it's time to pay that toll now
They're looking through you like you've got no soul now
You're digging deeper in that hole now
You know you're never getting out again
Now I'm still driving through the deserts of California
They try to preach to you, but they never warn you
And when I turn that radio dial
That Bible belt revival with no style
I listened to it for a little while, then I had to turn it off
Oh, I'm alive in the deserts of California
I've got water, but my mouth is dry now
And when I turn that radio dial
That Bible belt revival with no style
I listen to it for a little while, then I had to turn it off
When I reach that southern shore now
That sea salt splashes on that burn now
There's always something else to learn now
