[Verse 1]: Don't you Judge me if my shirt's grown wond and patched Cause I'm much tougher than I look It's been a hard year, the sky went dry way back My fahter's fields went empty Cause nothing never took
[Chorus]: I hate the dust of Oklahoma The wind that carries years away I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true But that train just keeps a coming Like all bad dreams do
[Verse 2]: All I can see against that scarecrow horizon Is endless lines of telephone wire The only thing that I can seem to keep my eyes on Are those iron tracks that disappear into scorching sun
[Chorus]: I hate the dust of Oklahoma The wind that carries years away I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true But that train just keeps a coming Like all bad dreams do
[Verse 3]: My father's dreams, the weeds have overtaken They're all burried in the ground But I made a mpromise for, his land to Always treasure But there's no treausure to be found
[Chorus]: I hate the dust of Oklahoma The wind that carries years away I hate the sand, my Lord knows it to be true But that train just keeps a coming Like all bad dreams do
