40 Acres

Out on these Texas plains

You can see for a million miles

There are a thousand exits between the interstate line,

Bout the last time that I saw you

Call me Pandora, call me a fool

I'm thinking to you that it would do you some good

Drop these scales and take a look

This forty acres,

There's redemption to be found

Just along down the way

There is a place where no plow

Laid has turned the ground,

And you will turn it over hay,

Cause out here hope remains,

Cause out here hope remains

Out in a Texas sky

It is big as the sea

And your alone in your room

Like an island floating free,

Spirits hanging in a bottle out on a tree,

They say that your the black sheep,

I still say your family

Throw that bottle to the waves

Now bring you into me

From the shore you will see

This forty acres,

There's redemption to be found

Just along down the way

There is a place where no plow

Laid has turned the ground,

And you will turn it over hay,

Cause out here hope remains,

Cause out here hope remains

Out in Texas rains

The hardest I've ever seen

Washed your house away

Little loss, so major green

Love is rocks than

Crying to

This little lamb is calling out for you

This forty acres,

There's redemption to be found

Just along down the way

There is a place where no plow

Laid has turned the ground,

And you will turn it over hay,

Cause out here hope remains,

Cause out here hope remains
