Lyrics
Silas, it was 3:47 on the dot,
When the click on the line was the only gospel I got.
This phone's a cold river stone in my palm,
And the dial tone's a locust consuming the calm.
[Chorus]
Oh, this love ain't a drought, boy, it's just thirsty ground,
And my heart is the hoe that keeps comin' around.
You won't let it rain, you just pray for the sun,
On your barren acre, 'til the growing is done.
[Verse 2]
I remember that Tuesday by the Ocmulgee bridge,
You were picking at splinters on the wooden porch ridge.

And my heart is the hoe that keeps comin' around.
You won't let it rain, you just pray for the sun,
On your barren acre, 'til the growing is done.
[Bridge]
I'm not asking for heaven or a guaranteed yield,
Just a handful of good soil from your fallow field.
[Outro]
Your barren acre...
Just dust on my tongue... your barren acre.
