[Chorus] Spilled a gla** of grain Work with Walter Wade No man to raise a child I'm living on the wild plains [Verse 1] Salt and pepper sand Arid, barren land Brings me to my knees All these hopeless seeds The girl I'm dreaming of Sprouted from a love song [Verse 2] Wade just hums along The chords I'm playing wrong I don't know what it means Somebody's gotta sing He's reading Lonesome Dove And I'm picking all these love songs [Chorus] Spilled a gla** of grain Work with Walter Wade No man to raise a child I'm living on the wild plains Living on the wild plains [Verse 3] Symptoms of the night: An ever-fading light The looming frightened calm Of a faraway dawn A woman feeling strong In the echoes of a love song A woman feeling strong In the echoes of a love song [Chorus] Spilled a gla** of grain Work with Walter Wade No man to raise a child I'm living on the wild plains Rain showers cool and mild I'm living on the wild plains Living on the wild plains Living on the wild plains
