Johnny & Wanda & the Holes into Nowhere

Johnny and Wanda
I watched them grow fonder
I knew nothing good could come outa this year

But I let it get stronger
It didn't seem wrong to
To see two kids in love we thought why interfere

Then Wanda's big brother
Wed Johnny's young sister
They both took off for Texas as fast as they could

And Johnny said 'Wanda
We're stuck with the old ones
We're left with the farms and the cattle for good'

World keeps a turning
Days keep a dawning
Life goes off and life goes on
Until you fall through the holes into nowhere

So!

So it all got decided
Before they turned 20
The two farms together a man and his bride

And before they hit winter
They ran out of fodder
And ten head of cattle just lay down and died

Another one over before it began
It shouldn't be hard just to stand like a man
Without special friends or a parcel of land
You just fall through the holes into nowhere

World keeps a turning
Days keep a dawning
Life goes off and life goes on
Until you fall through the holes into nowhere

World keeps a turning
Days keep a dawning
Life goes off and life goes on
Until you fall through the holes into nowhere

Another one over before it began
It shouldn't be hard just to stand like a man
Without special friends or a parcel of land
You just fall through the holes into nowhere

World keeps a turning
Days keep a dawning
Life goes off and life goes on
Until you fall through the holes into nowhere
