"Dust Bowl Dance" Lyrics

The young man stands on the edge of his porch
\\nThe days were short and the father was gone
\\nThere was no one in the town and no one in the field
\\nThis dusty barren land had given all it could yield
\\n
\\nI\\u2019ve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
\\nAnd I have no idea where else my heart could have been
\\nI placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
\\nAnd now I am sure my heart could never be still
\\nSo collect your courage and collect your horse
\\nAnd pray you never feel this same kind of remorse.
\\n
\\nSeal my heart and break my pride
\\nI\\u2019ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
\\nAlign my heart, my body, my mind
\\nTo face what I\\u2019ve done, and do my time
\\n
\\nWell you are my accuser, now look in my face
\\nYour oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
\\nSo one man has and another has not
\\nHow can you love what it is you have got
\\nWhen you took it all from the weak hands of the poor
\\nLiars and thieves you know not what is in store
\\nThere will come a time I will look in your eye
\\nYou will pray to the God that you always denied
\\nThen I\\u2019ll go out back and I\\u2019ll get my gun
\\nI\\u2019ll say you haven\\u2019t met me, I am the only son
\\n
\\nSeal my heart and break my pride
\\nI\\u2019ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
\\nAlign my heart, my body, my mind
\\nTo face what I\\u2019ve done, and do my time
\\n
\\nWell yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
\\nI know what I\\u2019ve done, \\u2018cause I know what I\\u2019ve seen
\\nI went out back and I got my gun
\\nI said you haven\\u2019t met me, I am the only son
