Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives   And there's a thousand exits between here and the state line   About the last time that I saw you   You said call me Pandora, call me a fool      And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good   So drop these scales and take a look      There's 40 acres and redemption to be found   Just along down the way   There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground   And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains   'Cause out here hope remains...      Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea   And you're alone in your room like an island floating free   Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree   You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family      So throw that bottle to the waves   They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see      Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen   It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean   Now these rocks they are crying too   And this whole land is calling out for you
