Seven Year Drought

[Verse 1]
It don't look like much right now, all burnt brown and sinesia(?) gray
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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?

[Chorus]
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
