Turkeyfoot - Promise of Tomorrow Lyrics

I told my old man if he hit me again today
Me and little brother gonna make sure that he pays
One night he got whiskey drunk so that's exactly what we did
I've used these hands to settle chaos since I was just a kid

I married my sweetheart in 1948
She grew up hard like me, they didn't have a lot to eat
I know there's something better, I hear it in the wind
We're leaving Oklahoma, we may not come back again

Some bones ain't worth diggin up so let's leave em where they lay
The promise of tomorrow comes with leaving here today
Load up the old Ford truck, we'll wish this town good riddance, good luck
The promise of tomorrow comes with leaving here today

I could stay and work this patch of dirt
But it ain't worth much these days
It hasn't born a crop
Since the top soil blew away

There's work in Colorado
In the oil fields out west
Or maybe California
Turning wrenches on them jets

Some bones ain't worth diggin up so let's leave em where they lay
The Promise of Tomorrow comes with leaving here today
Load up the old Ford truck, we'll wish this town good riddance, good luck
The promise of tomorrow comes with leaving here today

Don't worry sugar
We'll make it you and me
A couple kids of pioneers
Ain't scared of anything

Load up the old Ford truck, we'll wish this town good riddance, good luck
The promise of tomorrow comes with leaving here today
