[00:22.32]I made a promise to not let go
[00:26.97]Our tug of war has only made me want you more
[00:30.29]
[00:33.91]Steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam
[00:39.29]My love is braver than you know
[00:43.98]
[00:45.35]My forefathers they worked this land
[00:47.66]
[00:50.48]And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature's plans
[00:53.35]
[00:57.63]Dressed in thunder a cloud came round
[01:03.67]In the shape of a lion a hand came down
[01:06.16]
[01:09.17]Damn this valley Damn this cold
[01:11.42]
[01:14.26]Take so long to let me know
[01:20.23]It's plant and reap and plow and sow
[01:23.78]
[01:26.96]But tell me will it grow
[01:30.22]
[01:46.21]Dig my ditches in the golden sun
[01:48.65]
[01:51.53]I'd be robbing these trains if I could catch me one
[01:55.09]
[01:57.97]Sunday Monday now Tuesday's gone
[02:00.47]
[02:03.60]Got me stone cold sober n a drought so long
[02:06.91]
[02:09.47]Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards
[02:12.10]
[02:14.77]There's a boy in a water tower counting cars
[02:18.27]
[02:22.09]Steel traps open and empty stalls
[02:25.10]
[02:26.73]There's a well-worn saddle but the horse is gone
[02:29.41]
[03:24.32]Jet black starlit midnight rolls
[03:26.20]
[03:29.69]I am down in the garden where I let go
[03:32.20]
[03:35.92]Here on the surface the earth looks round
[03:38.73]
[03:41.54]But it's a godless city of cold flat ground
