Nowhere, Texas

Down in nowhere, Texas
Along the highway 45'
there is ghostly streach of road
where it's hard to stay alive 

South, towards Galveston
young girl stay disappear
where the desert sands
turns into the wastland
air is thick with the scent of fear 

Hunting in the killing fields
small town country boys 
do their worst
no one knows how far it goes 
it seems that the bayou has become a world of hurt

Collete's* body was discovered 
in November of 1971
Then one after another 
victims were found beneath the desert sun

Still no convictions
handed down for these violent crimes
will this highway's history
remain a mystery
or will the truth unravel over time?

Hunting in the killing fields
small town country boys 
do their worst
no one knows how far it goes 
it seems that the bayou has become a world of hurt

And the devil was there
And the devil was there
And the devil was there
And the devil was there
