Capo 5
Verse 1:
I remember the dark clouds raining dust for days on end
Blew all the Earth out to California
Just left us here with the wind
Desperate times, you know everbody s part
It s your own lines you d like to forget
Till what you were meets what you ve now become
And grins and says Hey, haven t we met
Verse 2:
Lost my first born that Winter
My wife on the first day of Spring
So I poured my sweat to the Earth
to see what that harvest would bring
And I remember how the fury
just like a plague of locusts
Egypt s punishment for sins of pride
Is that now what has come over us
Chorus:
How much of this was meant to be
How much the work of the Devil
How far can one man s eyes really see
In these days of toil and trouble
Verse 3:
Honey, we re all resplendent,
Yeah honey, we are all thrift store
Like a wine-o with a $20 bill
Yeah, forever and eternally yours
And I can make you promises
If you don t expect too much,
Yes, and I will run the distance
If you ll please, please excuse my crutch
Chorus 2:
How much of this was meant to be
How much the work of the Devil
How far can one man s eyes really see
In these days of toil and trouble
How much of this is failing flesh
How much a course of retribution
My, my, how loudly we plead our innocence
Long after we made our contribution
