40 Acres Lyrics

40 Acres lyrics

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



There's forty acres and redemption to be found

Just
along the way

There is a place where no plow blade has ever turned the
ground

And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains

'Cause out here hope remains...



Out here the Texas sky is as
big as the sea

And your 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 throw that bottle to
 the waves

They'll bring you in to me and the shore you will see



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

Now these rocks they are crying
too

And this whole land is calling out for you
