In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
C# D#m B F#
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.
D#m A#m B F#
And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
C# D#m B F#
"Come on, baby! your bath is ready! it's almost time for sleep!"
D#m F# A# A#7
And i wonder, who's the father...
D#m F# A# A#7
and i wonder what they call her
A#7
Sierra
D#m A#m B F#
does her mother smoke or does she jog every morning?
C# D#m B F#
does she drink when she thinks about me, or doesn't she need to drink?
D#m A#m B F#
does she have a man who works a 9 to 5
C# D#m B F#
does he come home to kiss our young sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight?
D#m F# A# A#7
and an extra kiss for mama...
