Levelland Lyrics Artist(Band):Robert Earl Keen
Makes you wonder why they stopped here Wagon must have lost a wheel or they lacked ambition one On the great migration west Separated from the rest Though they might have tried their best They never caught the sun So they sunk some roots down in the dirt To keep from blowin' off the earth Built a town around here And when the dust had all but cleared They called it Levelland, the pride of man In Levelland Granddad grew the dry land wheat Stood on his own two feet His mind got incomplete and they put in the home Daddy's cotton grows so high Sucks the water table dry Rolling sprinklers circle round Bleedin' it to the bone And I won't be here when it comes a day It all dries up and blows away I'd hang around just to see But they never had much use for me in Levelland They don't understand me out in Levelland And I watch those jet trails carving up that big blue sky Coast to coasters watch 'em go And I never would blame 'em one damn bit If they never looked down on this Not much here they'd wanna know Just Levelland Far as you can point your hand Nothin' but Levelland Mama used to roll her hair Back before the central air We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night She'd tell me to make a wish I'd wish we both could fly Don't think she's seen the sky Since we got the satellite dish and I can hear the marching band Doin' the best they can They're playing "Smoke on the Water", "Joy to the World" I've paid off all my debts Got some change left over yet and I'm Gettin' on a whisper jet I'm gonna fly as far as I can get from Levelland, doin' the best I can Out in Levelland - imagine that If you find some error in Levelland Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Levelland Great lyrics | Reviewer: Iain | 1/7/2008 Nailed It | Reviewer: Kieran Lindsey | 6/18/2006 I'm a Texan who's not from West Texas but lived there (Odessa) for several years and who now drives through Levelland periodically. Not only is the town named appropriately, Keen (as is so often the case) nails not only the feeling of the landscape but the culture of the people, all in a completely enjoyable tune. An often-overlooked gem.
