Will It Grow

I made a promise to not let go
 Our tug of war has only made me want you more
 Steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam
 My love is braver than you know
 My forefathers, they worked this land
 And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature's plans
 Dressed in thunder a cloud came around
 Oh, in the shape of a lion a hand came down
 Now, damn this valley and damn this cold
 Well, take so long to let me know
 It's plant and reap and plow and sow
 But tell me, will it grow?
 Dig my ditches in the golden sun
 I'd be robbing these trains if I could catch me one
 Now, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday's gone
 Got me stone cold sober in a drought so long
 Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards
 There's a boy in a water tower counting cars
 Steel trap open in empty stalls
 Now there's a well worn saddle but the horse is gone
 Now, damn this valley and damn this cold
 Take so long to let me know
 It's plant and reap and plow and sow
 But tell me, will it grow?
 (Will it grow?)
 Jet black starlit midnight rolls
 I am down in the garden where I let you go
 Up on the surface the earth looks round
 But it's a godless city of cold flat ground
 Now, damn this valley and damn this cold
 Take so long to let me know
 It's plant and reap and plow and sow
 But tell me, will it grow?
 Will it grow?
 Will it grow?
 Will it grow?
