In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
D Em C G
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.
Em Bm C G
And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
D Em C G
"Come on, baby! your bath is ready! it's almost time for sleep!"
Em G B B7
And i wonder, who's the father...
Em G B B7
and i wonder what they call her
B7
Sierra
Em Bm C G
does her mother smoke or does she jog every morning?
D Em C G
does she drink when she thinks about me, or doesn't she need to drink?
Em Bm C G
does she have a man who works a 9 to 5
D Em C G
does he come home to kiss our young sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight?
Em G B B7
and an extra kiss for mama...
