lyrics

We walk these badlands
Through pouring rain
Wild-eyed we’re yearning
To free our names
But it’s the same old story they tell
Just a child’s parlor game

With dirt our witness
We place our trust
In her father’s pistol
Red, lifeless dusk
It’s the same old story they tell
Another tale for the dust

So don’t treat us rough
We’ll break like light bulbs
Crack like dam walls
You and I are drowning in the flood

So revel in wonder
Where you may roam
Dare not to ponder each
Fork in life’s road
For it’s the same old stories they hear
No matter how it’s told
