Empty City

Well I tried to make it work
 But the only fruit this desert yields is hurt
 I love the sunsets
 A simple life at first
 But I can't stay on one single patch of earth
 Cause West of the dirt and North of the of the dust
 Is a land promised to us to us
 So outline and fill in on your cardboard "There or Bust"
 And let the rain wash all the stains from this empty city left on us
 Well I fought with all I had
 But not one sweat droplet rolled from this dry land
 I sold my soul for a chance to make a stand
 But the only thing left standing is the sand
 Cause West of the dirt and North of the of the dust
 Is a land promised to us to us
 So outline and fill in on your cardboard "There or Bust"
 And let the rain wash all the stains this empty city left on us
 Well the desert was my lover
 But I never really loved her
 So leaving her's a hard thing to do
 But my feet have started forward
 Before I felt the force of it leading me to fortitude
 Cause West of the dirt and North of the of the dust
 Is a land promised to us to us
 So outline and fill in on your cardboard "There or Bust"
 And let the rain wash all the stains this empty city left on us
 Let the rain wash all the stains this empty city left on us
