Verse
0:19- 1:16
Continue same rhythm as intro.
Get down and pray to the oven
She thinks that God is there, in there
Do you see Sylvia in the oven?
Colossal fact, Daddy's ex don't let you read.
Here's what she sees.
Verse
1:17- 1:58
In the end her only friend, keeps herself wide open
looks into a higher ground
What did husband say was found?
She found - a daughter going on with her life
I can't juggle this
I can't juggle this
I can't juggle this
When it slips she says:
Chorus
1:59- 2:14
This Kansas wheat won't break me
and another drink won't take me
I can make it if you can
Verse
2:15- 3:19
Strip it down wide open still
Was your head caught in that pill?
Was your life one big regret?
The smartest man she ever met
was not buried or put up on a cross
And she thinks it's over, still
if that light won't go on
There's no hope in life at all
if the oven won't burn
Chorus
3:20- 3:57
This Kansas wheat won't break me
and another drink won't take me
I can make it if you can
This Kansas wheat won't break us
and another drink won't make us free
The ovens wide open
3:58- end
Hold your breath and see
Hold your breath and see
