Dustbowl Dance

Mumford & Sons

1. The young man stands on the edge of his porch
   The days were short and the father was gone
   There was no one in the town and no one in the field
   This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
   
2. I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
   And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
   I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
   And now I am sure my heart can never be still

   So collect your courage and collect your horse
   And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

3. Seal my heart and brake my pride
   I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
   Align my heart, my body, my mind
   To face what I've done and do my time
   
4. Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
   Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
   So one man has and another has not
   How can you love what it is you have got

   When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
   Liars and thieves you know not what is in store

5. There will come a time I will look in your eye
   You will pray to the God that you always denied
   The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
   I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

   Seal my heart and brake my pride
   I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
   Align my heart, my body, my mind
   To face what I've done and do my time

6. Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
   I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
   I went out back and I got my gun
   I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
