Dust Of Oklahoma Lyrics - Ii - The Common Linnets

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
