Well the first storm came out of the dark
The second one left a crack in my heart
The third one took my baby to be with Jesus

You can see it coming over the prairie
Feels electric in your skin then it gets scary
Use your best kitchen towel
To cover your mouth

We've hung up snakes
We could pave the plains
We've done crazy things
To try to make it rain
When the day turn to darkness
And the wind is all that is heard
You're in a black blizzard

I could sweep this house 20 times a day
Work my fingers to the bone like a rich man's maid
I could never get us clean
Clean like before

I bail dust like a sailor bails water
The cows all died before they went to slaughter
What the sun left
The Jackrabbits stole in the night

CHORUS

The neighbors all left
They headed out west
To the golden coast on a golden quest
But we got the money to make the journey

My darlin dear can't find work
Everything we own is covered in dirt
It's a hard luck life
But it will get better some day
