The Common Linnets Dust of Oklahoma song lyrics

Don't you judge me if my shirt's grown worn and patched

Cause I'm much tougher than I look

It's been a hard year, the sky went dry way back

My father's fields went empty

Cause nothing never took

I hate the dust of Oklahoma

The wind that carries years away

I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true

But that train just keeps a coming

Like all bad dreams do

All I can see against that scarecrow horizon

Is endless lines of Telephone wire

The only thing that I can seem to keep my eyes on

Are those iron tracks that disappear into the scorching sun

I hate the dust of Oklahoma

The wind that carries years away

I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true

And that train just keeps a coming

Like all bad dreams do

My father's dreams, the weeds have overtaken

They're all buried in the ground

But I made a promise for, his land to always treasure

But there's no treasure to be found

I hate the dust of Oklahoma

The wind that carries years away

I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true

And that train just keeps a coming

Like all bad dreams do

And that train just keeps a coming

Like all bad dreams do
