Testo Dust Of Oklahoma

Don't you judge me

I'm church-grown, worn, and patched
I'm much tougher than I look

It's been hard here

The sky went dry way back
My father's fields went empty

Nothing ever took

I hate the dust of Ok - lahoma
The wind that carries years away
I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true

and that rain just keeps a-coming like all bad dreams do

All I can see against that scarecrow horizon is
endless night and a telephone wire
The only thing that I can seem to keep my eyes on are
iron tracks that disappear into the scorching sun

I hate the dust of Ok - lahoma
The wind that carries years away
I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true

and that rain just keeps a-coming like all bad dreams do

My father's dreams, leaves have overtaken
And they're buried in the ground
And I made a promise, these lands I'll always trea - sure
There's no treasure to be found

I hate the dust of Ok - lahoma
The wind that carries years away
I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true

and that rain just keeps a-coming like all bad dreams do

and that day just keeps a-coming like all bad dreams do
