Forty Acres |
| Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives |
| And there’s a thousand exits between here and the state line |
| About the last time that I saw you |
| You said call me Pandora, call me a fool |
| And I’m thinking this view it could do you some good |
| So drop these scales and take a look |
| There’s 40 acres and redemption to be found |
| Just along down the way |
| There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground |
| And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains |
| 'Coz out here hope remains… |
| Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea |
| And you’re alone in your room like an island floating free |
| Your spirit’s hanging in a bottle out on a tree |
| You say that you’re the black sheep, I say you’re still family |
| So throw that bottle to the waves |
| They’ll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see |
| Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I’ve ever seen |
| It’ll wash your house away, but it’ll also make you clean |
| Now these rocks they are crying too |
| And this whole land is calling out for you |
