    Lyrics »

Distance and boredom dragging you down
Nowhere to go but an Air Force town
Nowhere to heal these feelings in you
Nowhere to hide when the medicine came through

Fire on the water
Fear in the land
Gather ye children the time is at hand
Any ten dollar bill
And you can fly like the dove
From Eagleston, Texas, to somewhere you love

Women and wages and killing your time
Helping your friends cross the Mexican line
Nights like a family
There are plenty of those
'Til the end of September when the packhouses close

Then there's time for the railroads
And time for the planes
Time for those feelings that'll never get names
Time when you hold back
And time when you try
'Til the time when you finally just tie off and cry
And it's gone like the innocents caught in the flood
Gone like the money all into my blood
Gone like the lives that the weather has won
Out in the fields of Eagleston

Satan the devil
He's got hundreds of names
Africa's hungry
Asia's in flames
Nobody cares what the devil has done
Out in the trailers in Eagleston
