40 Acres

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 40 acres
 And redemption to be found
 Just along and down the way
 There is a place where
 No plow blade has turned the ground
 And you will turn it over
 'Cause out here hope remains
 'Cause out here hope remains
 Out here the Texas sky
 It's 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
 Throw that bottle to the waves
 They'll bring you in to me
 From the shore you will see
 There's 40 acres
 And redemption to be found
 Just along and down the way
 There is a place where
 No plow blade has turned the ground
 And you will turn it over
 'Cause out here hope remains
 'Cause out here hope remains
 'Cause out here hope remains
 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
 40 acres
 And redemption to be found
 Just along and down the way
 There is a place where
 No plow blade has turned the ground
 And you will turn it over
 'Cause out here hope remains
 'Cause out here hope remains
 'Cause out here hope remains
 'Cause out here hope remains
