Ain't no damn food to eat
Hasn't been seen nice last week
I can't remember
My last goodnight sleep
But the Good Lord willing
I'll have your love to keep

It's the middle of November
The snow still ain't fell
Looks like a drought
In this high plains hell
Good Lord willing
Only time will tell

As the world turns faster
Into a forgotten yesterday
The words I can't remember
The ones I didn't say
The Good Lord willing
I'll save them for another day

Life can be easy
If you let go of the pain
Stop to realize
The beauty of the rain
The Good Lord willing
You won't go insane

I know where I'm headed
I know where I'm bound
I know my future
Ain't waiting around
The Good Lord willing
Maybe I'll track it down
