Ten thousand acres of lonesome Five hundred miles all filled up with pain Can you see the black birds They've been flying Look at me, I'm crying again Look at me, I'm hurting While time's just working it's game on me You know some folks They just can't win for trying Look at me, I'm crying again I've got a dollar in my pocket It won't help me much In bringing back your love But if you're selling heartache then I'm buying Look at me, I'm crying again Ten thousand acres of worry I've had my sins one dozen at a time I hurt so bad that you would think I'm dying Look at me, I'm crying again Look at me, I'm losing While she's just doing Anything she please Don't you know that it's my knot you're tying Look at me, I'm crying again Would you look at me, I'm crying again

Howling at the field The clearest of days Where does that hound run? Were you even listening? Were you riding with me? Were you even listening? TRX 250 Trust in your machine The kick and the wheeze That hauls for the winter Were you even listening? Were you riding with me? Were you even listening? TRX 250 Trusted friend Tell me what you need Why would you stay here? Were you even listening? Were you riding with me? Were you even listening? TRX 250

Turned off the TV, sat down to dinner Phone rang, we were saying grace Grandma died left us sixty acres The last of the old home place Sixty acres up on the cap rock What am I supposed to do with that Uncle Claude got a eight wheeled tractor Plow it under in nothing flat We could plant some maize, we could plant some cotton We could plant some oats just to see if they'd grow But I don't like farming, can't take the hours Don't like a life that goes so slow Glory glory, Hallelujah Right back atcha, hope that'll do ya Don't look at me like there's something I shouldn't have said Just 'cause that old bird's dead Glory glory, Hallelujah Wish you'll do this, hope that'll do ya Don't look at me like there's something I shouldn't have said Just 'cause that old bird's dead Now, cousin Clifford, he got the good land Right on the highway out by Air Base road Looks like a Wal-Mart waiting to happen I mean to tell you it's a pot of gold It's in the city limits and zoned commercial City water and a sewer line With the base expanding, consolidation It's worth a fortune and it oughta been mine Glory glory, Hallelujah Right back atcha, don't she look natural? Don't look at me like there's something growing out of my head Just 'cause that old bird's dead
