Levelland - James Mcmurtry[00:00:00]

Flatter than a table top[00:00:16]

Makes you wonder why they stopped here[00:00:19]

Wagon must have lost a wheel[00:00:23]

Or they lacked ambition one[00:00:26]

In the great migration west[00:00:31]

Separated from the rest[00:00:34]

Though they might have tried their best[00:00:38]

They never caught the sun[00:00:41]

So they sunk some roots down in this dirt[00:00:44]

To keep from blowin' off the earth[00:00:48]

Built a town right here[00:00:52]

When the dust had all but cleared[00:00:55]

They called it Levelland[00:00:58]

Levelland[00:01:03]

Levelland[00:01:06]

Grand dad grew the dry land wheat[00:01:14]

Stood on his own two feet[00:01:18]

His mind got incomplete[00:01:22]

And they put him in a home[00:01:24]

Daddy's cotton grows so high[00:01:29]

Sucks the water table dry[00:01:32]

His rolling sprinklers circle back[00:01:36]

Bleeding it to the bone[00:01:39]

And I won't be here when it comes the day[00:01:42]

It all dries up and blows away[00:01:46]

I'd hang around just to see[00:01:50]

But they never had much use for me[00:01:53]

In Levelland[00:01:57]

They don't understand me[00:02:00]

In Levelland[00:02:04]

Well I watch those ships trails comin' out that big blue sky[00:02:12]

Coast to coasters watch 'em go[00:02:20]

And I don't blame 'em one damn bit[00:02:26]

If they never look down on this[00:02:30]

Ain't much down here they'd want to know[00:02:34]

Just Levelland[00:02:40]

You could wash your hands[00:02:44]

In nothin' but Levelland[00:02:47]

Mama used to roll her hair[00:03:26]

Back before the central air[00:03:29]

We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night[00:03:33]

She tell me to make a wish[00:03:40]

I'd wish we both could fly[00:03:44]

I don't think she's seen the sky[00:03:47]

Since we got the satellite dish[00:03:51]

I can hear the marching band[00:03:55]

Doing the best they can to play[00:03:58]

Smoke on the water[00:04:02]

And joy to the world[00:04:05]

I payed up all my debts[00:04:09]

Got some change left over yet[00:04:12]

I'm getting on a whisper jet[00:04:16]

Going to fly as far as I can get[00:04:19]

From Levelland[00:04:23]

Done the best I can[00:04:26]

In Levelland[00:04:29]
