I'll sting you like a cactus
The desert can get lonely
The weather isn't kind
I had two hands to hold me
Til he took off in the night
Hat over his horns
He's the devil in disguise
I dressed myself in thorns
So it wouldn't happen twice
Oh, I try to warn them
Oh, I'm no good for them
Easy on the eyes like a piece of paradise
A place to rest your boots when you're only passing by
But don't unpack your bags yet, boy
I'll hurt you out of habit
And I'd get back on the road before it happens
I'll sting you like a cactus
My heart was full of gold
Now it's the deepest shade of blue
What another cowboy broke looks like treasure to you
Oh, I try to warn them
Oh, I'm no good for them
Easy on the eyes like a piece of paradise
A place to rest your boots when you're only passing by
But don't unpack your bags yet
Boy, I'll hurt you out of habit
And I'd get back on the road before it happens
I'll sting you like a cactus
I'll sting you like a cactus
I'll sting you like a cactus
Burn you like a flame
Ashes to ashes
Won't be coming back again
I'll sting you like a cactus
Burn you like a flame
Ashes to ashes
Till you're cursing my name
Easy on the eyes like a piece of paradise
A place to rest your boots when you're only passing by
But don't unpack your bags yet
Boy I'll hurt you out of habit
And I'd get back on the road before it happens
I'll sting you like a cactus
