Lyrics
Dorothy wore the mileage of all of her wrong turns
For years flying solo left her mama quite concerned
Winds of romance will do that knock you right off your feet
Got kicked to the curb and then out on the street
She looks for good lovin Like a whirlwind in disguise
Flying all night long
Through desperate skies
The desperate skies
The desperate skies
Flying so high
The desperate skies
Spun out of control
Lost the way to go
In desperate skies
Went to the meat market
With all the cheesy beef
Not what she had in mind
to help her find relief
Searching for a new start helped her off of the fence Looking for a good heart
one of a kind.. she dreamt
She looks for good lovin Like a whirlwind in disguise
Flying all night long through desperate skies
The desperate skies The desperate skies
Flying so high
The desperate skies
Spun out of control Crash and burn to go
In desperate skies
Tim man said winding roads been paved in fools gold
Gems and rubies don't help you have to to have and hold
Your powers right there sitting right neath your feet
Spring for a little cab fare and life won't look so bleak
The desperate skies The desperate skies
The desperate skies The desperate skies
In desperate skies
