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 |
