Bleached fields and crushed car glass
Gutted hills and black coal ash
Summer corn standing tall
Wonder what becomes of it all
Along the asphalt run steep Swales
If you think it's hot here, try hell x2
Makeup weighs down her eyes
Her man's truck's got tractor tires
Do they know they ain't free?
How'd it come so clear to me?
As the sweat rolls down her brow
If you think it's hot here, try hell x2
With all this time spent on the road
It's hard knowing other ways to go
When the water finally falls it'll find its way
To lower places take the soil away
