Intro:
1st Verse:
Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives
And there's a thousand exits between here and the state line
About the last time that I saw you, you said
Call me Pandora, call me a fool
And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good
So drop these scales and take a look
Chorus:
There's 40 acres and redemtion to be found
Just along down the way
And there is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
'Cause out here hope remains
2nd Verse:
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family
So through that bottle to the waves
And I'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see
Solo:
3rd Verse:
Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen
It'll wash your house away but it'll also make you clean
And all these rocks they are crying too
And this whole land it is calling out for you
