Intro: Verse: The sun beats down on this thirsting land Burning my will away It's many a mile from the eastern shore And the hope I felt that day We crossed the sea from the old country To the promised land we came And then we headed west on a thankless quest To the place we staked our claim Now the eagle that's circling overhead, He knows my name 'Cause the only thing plentiful here is the Dust on the plain Until God brings the rain Verse: Wasn't always this way, back in the day All life sprang from this ground But like a slow-burning curse Every year's gotten worse So someday it must turn around As the wagons are rolling on out They call me insane But I'm not gonna let this land break me, I'll be staying Until God brings the rain Instrumental:
