Dustbowl 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» |
