Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] The sun dips low behind the pine tree wall Three acres hum with life's sweet call Chickens cluck and the grandkids play But I feel the weight of the empty day [Chorus] Out in West Texas he's chasing black gold Long hours in fields where stories unfold I run this home but my heart's with him Waiting for his call as the night grows dim [Verse 2] The geese take flight as the moonlight beams Dogs bark softly in their twilight dreams I sip my coffee as the shadows fall Counting the hours till I hear him at all [Chorus] Out in West Texas he's chasing black gold Long hours in fields where stories unfold I run this home but my heart's with him Waiting for his call as the night grows dim [Bridge] His voice on the line It soothes my soul Miles apart but he makes me whole I tell him 'bout the geese and the kids' wild schemes He tells me of oil rigs and his dusty dreams [Chorus] Out in West Texas he's chasing black gold Long hours in fields where stories unfold I run this home but my heart's with him Waiting for his call as the night grows dim
