I know youre goin crazy You gonna leave me here maybe You thrashed all night Tossed into the morning light And woke me up crying I know it gets hard on these high plains In these same old bars Nothin new under the sun Now Im feelin kind of lazy I find its hard carryin on Workin this same goddamned land That killed my granddad Nothin new under this Oklahoma sun But your heart has turned I heard you pleadin with your grandmamas urn Askin how the hell she ever made it through This land is hard These rollin plains stretch so far Folks cant get their minds Around what lies on the other side It may be safer just to stay But you come to me Shaking hard from your borderland dreams You whisper Texas, babe Oh, Texas, babe Crawl in this old Ford You grind the gears and Ill work the floor Let that panhandle go Let that cool Blue Norther blow The echos of a thousand prayers Come that first light of dawn Darlin we will be long gone Long gone, long gone
