Homesteader Lyrics

Kid Dakota Homesteader

tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed

tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed

well the windmills are spinning
to no avail
cause in this here county
the rain is more precious than gold
and some folk are praying
and others have sold their souls
but nature's indifferent
it's beyond god's control

tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed

tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed

the pills and the powders
the cord and the blood
and the doctors can't save her
now a minister has come
well, the first born's still arm
well, it's cold and blue
though we walk through the valley...of death
death is walking there too

tumble tumbleweed at breakneck speed

oh and i've made friends with the hoppers
oh and i've become one of them
we will cover the landscape
we will prey on the kin
we will darken the heavens
and we will blot out the sun
and we will build a new egypt
and we will form a new god
in our own image (repeat 9x)
