Out on these Texas plains
You can see for a million lives
And theres a thousand exits
Between here and the state line
About the last time that I saw you
You said call me Pandora
Call me fool
And Im thinking this view, it could do you some good
So drop these scales and take a look
Theres forty acres and redemption to be found
Just along down the way
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
But you will turn it over (hey)
Cause out here hope remains
Cause out here hope remains
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
And youre alone in your room like an island floating free
Your spirits hanging in a bottle on a tree
You say that youre the black sheep, I say youre still family
So throw that bottle to the waves
And Ill bring you into me, and from the shore you will see
Out here the Texas rain is the hardest Ive ever seen
Itll wash your house away, but itll also make you clean
And all these rocks are crying out too
And this whole land is calling out for you
(Repeat last line twice, end with G)
