Intro: G Dsus G/B C2 (2x)
G Out on these Dsus Texas plains
G/B You can see for a C2 million lives
G And there's a Dsus thousand exits
G/B Between here C2 and the state line
G About the Dsus last time that G/B I saw C2 you
You said G call me PanDsusdora
[G/B] Call me A [C2] fool
G/B And I'm thinking this view, it could C2 do you some good
G/B So drop these scales and C2 take a look
CHORUS
D There's forty Em7 acres C2 and redemption to be found
D Just aEm7long down the C2 way
D There is a Em7 place where no C2 plow blade has turned the ground
D But you will Em7 turn it over C2 (hey)
D Cause out here hope remains G Dsus G/B
Cause out here hope remains C2 Dsus G
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 on a tree
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family
So throw that bottle to the waves
And I'll bring you into me, and from the shore you will see
CHORUS
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
And all these rocks are crying out too
And this whole land is calling out for you
CHORUS
(Repeat last line twice, end with G)
