Dust Bowl Dance (Live At Shepherd's Bush Empire)

The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart  my body  my mind
To face what I've done and do my time
Well you are my accuser  now look in my face
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
I'll say     You haven't met me  I am the only son
Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart  my body  my mind
To face what I've done and do my time
Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart  my body  my mind
To face what I've done and do my time
Well yes sir  yes sir  yes it was me
I know what I've done  cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said       You haven't met me  I am the only son
