Dust Bowl Dance |
| The young man stands on the edge of his porch |
| The days were short and the father was gone |
| There was no one in the town and no one in the field |
| This dusty barren land had given all it could yield |
| I’ve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen |
| And I have no idea where else my heart could have been |
| I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill |
| And now I am sure my heart can never be still |
| So collect your courage and collect your horse |
| And pray you never feel the same kind of remorse |
| Seal my heart and brake my pride |
| I’ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide |
| Align my heart, my body, my mind |
| To face what I’ve done and do my time |
| Well you are my accuser, now look in my face |
| Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace |
| So one man has and another has not |
| How can you love what it is you have got |
| When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? |
| Liars and thieves you know not what is in store |
| There will come a time I will look in your eye |
| You will pray to the God that you always denied |
| Then I’ll go out back and I’ll get my gun |
| I’ll say, «You haven’t met me, I am the only son» |
| Seal my heart and brake my pride |
| I’ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide |
| Align my heart, my body, my mind |
| To face what I’ve done and do my time |
| Seal my heart and brake my pride |
| I’ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide |
| Align my heart, my body, my mind |
| To face what I’ve done and do my time |
| Yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me I know what I’ve done, cause I know what I’ve seen |
| I went out back and I got my gun |
| I said, «You haven’t met me, I am the only son» |
