Next Year People |
| You can’t live without hope that things will change for the better |
| You can’t live without the dream of someone reading your letter |
| We’ve had dust storms before and spit out the dirt |
| We’ve had droughts before but none quite like this |
| We’ve had winds that cut up your face all to pieces |
| Black blizzards that stripped all the paint off your car |
| Fires like twisters no sisters of mercy |
| They come with no warning only that sound |
| God is roaring drunk and out on the town |
| Next year everything will come good |
| The rains they will fall and we’ll dance on the hood |
| We’ll fill up our bellies with plentiful food |
| We’ll eat drink and be merry |
| Yeah next year people wait and see |
| We’re next year people you and me |
| Henry got hit by lightning twice in the head |
| He stood and walked away, we thought he was dead |
| Now he talks funny says he’s wired to the sky |
| He walks for miles and miles and no one knows why |
| The bank men they came and wrote things down on paper |
| We all went outside and just stood around |
| We were glad when they left they brought nothing but heartache |
| And the seed we had planted it stayed in the ground |
| Next year everything will come good |
| The rains they will fall and we’ll dance on the hood |
| We’ll fill up our bellies with plentiful food |
| We’ll eat drink and be merry |
| Yeah next year people wait and see |
| We’re next year people you and me |
| Dry endless plains and we suffered the worst |
| Are we being punished or are we just cursed |
| It’s almost ten years and no drop of rain |
| Only mocking blue skies bringing more of the same |
| Our mother was crying when they sent us to stay |
| With strangers in a town and we both ran away |
| Back to the dust and see Henry again |
| We’re creatures of habit don’t you know |
| And one day we’ll reap what we sow |
| Next year everything will come good |
| The rains they will fall and we’ll dance on the hood |
| We’ll fill up our bellies with plentiful food |
| We’ll eat drink and be merry |
| Yeah next year people wait and see |
| We’re next year people you and me |
| Yeah next year people wait and see |
| We’re next year people you and me |
