Lyrics

[01:56.28] Album:This Is It
[02:13.50][00:01.30]
[00:06.24] They still listen to high school football
[00:09.03] On the radio in West Texas
[00:12.68] The lights still shine bright
[00:16.09] Every Friday Night
[00:19.77] And you can drive 90 miles an hour
[00:22.40] Down the highway straight through Sisco
[00:26.12] The cops are at the ball game,
[00:29.49] its gettin' tight
[00:32.21]
[00:33.46] And the sky gets wider and wider
[00:36.46] You disappear like the day
[00:40.15] Into the Great Divide you fade away
[00:48.80][00:44.45]
[00:49.77] Its another world all together
[00:52.71] In the middle of God's country
[00:56.71] Smells like money, smells like shit,
[00:59.83] yea it smells like hell
[01:02.92] But when the cattle's all together
[01:05.96] And the pump-jacks all are movin'
[01:09.72] And the cotton's all in bloom
[01:12.80] And it smells like nothin' else
[01:15.61]
[01:16.49] And the sky gets wider and wider
[01:19.92] Just like a brand new day
[01:23.74] Out in the Great Divide you fade away
[01:28.11]
[01:30.20] Its the land of my people
[01:36.30] Dreamers come out here
[01:39.58] to find a bigger piece of sky
[01:43.14] Its all the winners and all the losers
[01:50.26] Real good people, just like you and I
[01:54.90]
[02:20.58] Yea but nothin's really changed much
[02:23.77] As you drive down I-20
[02:26.86] Mexicans still work out in the field
[02:31.36]
[02:33.87] And everybody's dirty
[02:37.27] Man, their all just a bunch of gamblers
[02:40.43] And some got rich,
[02:42.92] but their gamblers still
[02:47.08]
[02:47.71] And the sky gets wider and wider
[02:50.11] Today's gunna be your day
[02:53.71] Out in the Great Divide you face away
[02:58.39]
[03:00.64] Its the land of my people
[03:06.92] Dreamers come out here
[03:09.99] to find a bigger piece of sky
[03:14.52] Its all the winners and all the losers
[03:20.70] Real good people, just like you and I
[03:26.41]
[03:51.21] They still listen to high school football
[03:54.21] On the radio in west Texas
[03:58.21] Lights still shine bright every Friday night
[04:03.01]
