[Intro - 8 bars, jangly guitars, pedal steel] [Spoken - Dusty, warm] Out here under the stars... Nothing but the road ahead... Let's ride. [VERSE - Driving groove] Desert wind is blowing free Twenty twenty-six is calling me Stars above like diamonds bright Gonna drive into the night [CHORUS - Big and anthemic, harmonies] DESERT STAR - light my way! (All: "Light my way!") DESERT STAR - brand new day! (All: "Brand new day!") Twenty twenty-six the sky's so wide Happy new year, enjoy the ride! [Climax - Pedal steel solo then big finish] Ride! (all night!) Bright! (starlight!) Desert star... HAPPY NEW YEAR! [Outro - Guitars fade into night] Twenty twenty-six... ride on...
