Seven Year Drought - Jamie Lin Wilson

You outta see what would happen with just one good rainy day

I know how they feel somehow: like I could dry up and blow away

I got a deep and abiding thirst that’s dry and hard as caliche clay

And we’re six years into a seven-year drought

I won’t give in but I’m 'bout to give out

We can’t eat hope and you can’t drink doubt

Six years into a seven-year drought

Six years into a seven-year drought

Evenin' sky so bright, fire red and gold

Cuts in the ground as deep and wide as I am old

They come from the inside I know, I can feel it too

They start out small and finally widen as the wind blows through

We’re six years into a seven-year drought

I won’t give in but I’m 'bout to give out

You can’t eat hope and you can’t drink doubt

Six years into a seven-year drought

Six years into a seven-year drought

Don’t it look like rain?

Don’t it feel like rain?

A teardrop in the dust

Between the two of us

Don’t it look like rain?

We’re six years into a seven-year drought

I won’t give in but I’m 'bout to give out

You can’t eat hope and you can’t drink doubt

Six years into a seven-year drought

Six years into a seven-year drought
