Song description:

An upbeat, hard driving country rock song that describes a young man who is infatuated with a hot brown eyed, raven haired, long-legged European beauty and model that he has been dating. His love for her becomes a toxic obsession that is turning into both a poison and desire. He goes for a walk on a desert road to try to clear his mind. Nonetheless, he can't sleep and she is constantly on his mind. Even drinking a bottle of tequila doesn't help him. He wants to be with her day and night and desires to hold her, kiss her sweet red lips and make love to her until the break of dawn.
