作词 : Keen | |
Flatter than a tabletop | |
Makes you wonder why they stopped here | |
Wagon must have lost a wheel or they lacked ambition one | |
On the great migration west | |
Separated from the rest | |
Though they might have tried their best | |
They never caught the sun | |
So they sunk some roots down in the dirt | |
To keep from blowin' off the earth | |
Built a town around here | |
And when the dust had all but cleared | |
They called it | |
Levelland, the pride of man | |
In Levelland | |
Granddad grew the dry land wheat | |
Stood on his own two feet | |
His mind got incomplete and they put in the home | |
Daddy's cotton grows so high | |
Sucks the water table dry | |
Rolling sprinklers circle round | |
Bleedin' it to the bone | |
And I won't be here when it comes a day | |
It all dries up and blows away | |
I'd hang around just to see | |
But they never had much use for me in | |
Levelland | |
They don't understand me out in | |
Levelland | |
And I watch those jet trails carving up that big blue sky | |
Coast to coasters watch 'em go | |
And I never would blame 'em one damn bit | |
If they never looked down on this | |
Not much here they'd wanna know | |
Just Levelland | |
Far as you can point your hand | |
Nothin' but | |
Levelland | |
Mama used to roll her hair | |
Back before the central air | |
We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night | |
She'd tell me to make a wish | |
I'd wish we both could fly | |
Don't think she's seen the sky | |
Since we got the satellite dish and | |
I can hear the marching band | |
Doin' the best they can | |
They're playing "Smoke on the Water", "Joy to the World" | |
I've paid off all my debts | |
Got some change left over yet and | |
I'm Gettin' on a whisper jet | |
I'm gonna fly as far as | |
I can get from | |
Levelland, doin' the best | |
I can Out in | |
Levelland - imagine that |
