Dark gold out the window and still the wheat grows
It's midnight in Nebraska, we're pushing on towards home
I belong to you darling and ain't that enough
It's a long road to Canaan but what's that to us
In the land of the forgotten, some hearts are still young
There's holes in my pockets and doubt on my tongue
I'm coming for you darling and that'll be enough
It's a long road to Canaan but glory's always rough
Meantime it's days out on my own
And nowhere seems close
Storms roll through the vacant plains
While thunder is keeping me awake till the dawn
The worst words are wait and see, I say throw it at the sky
And woe to all you petty well-fed sons of b**hes
In the darkness there's a hunger that won't be satisfied
All the way to Canaan we'll hold our hungry heads up high
