In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,

there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.

And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
G# A#m F# C#
"Come on, baby! your bath is ready! it's almost time for sleep!"
A#m C# F F7
And i wonder, who's the father...
A#m C# F F7

Sierra
A#m Fm F# C#
does her mother smoke or does she jog every morning?
G# A#m F# C#
does she drink when she thinks about me, or doesn't she need to drink?
A#m Fm F# C#
does she have a man who works a 9 to 5
G# A#m F# C#
