[Verse 1 - John Baumann]
Way out west we got the oil and wind
One you can pump, one you can spin
Both make money, both make sense
Some folks love it, some take offense
I got no issue, 'cause I'm in between
This flatland life and a south plains dream

[Verse 2 - William Clark Green]
We got folks that say they won’t come back
But they can’t stay away from the ol' pumpjack
In a place that looks like time’s forgotten
But all I see is the highest cotton
I got no issue, cause I’m in between
This flatland life and a south plains dream

[Chorus - Cleto Cordero]
We’re all out here, we know what it’s about here
When the crude goes up, you know it’s gonna come down
Ride the wind through the highs & lows
Find a place in between
This flatland life and a south plains dream

[Verse 3 - Josh Abbott]
We got republicans & democrats
Semi-educated aristocrats
People who claim to have seen the light
And those who wanna stay out all night
There’s red and there's blue, but they all love green in this flatland life & a south plains dream
[Chorus - Cleto Cordero]
We’re all out here, we know what it’s about here
When the crude goes up, you know it’s gonna come down
Ride the wind through the highs & lows
Find a place in between
This flatland life and a south plains dream

[Verse 4 - Cleto Cordero]
When the wells get capped and the wind won’t blow
And the skies dry up and dandelions don’t grow
No one will care to fuss or fight
About who was wrong or who was right
In the end, we’ll all lay beneath
This flatland life and south plains dream

[Chorus - Cleto Cordero]
We’re all out here, we know what it’s about here
When the crude goes up, you know it’s gonna come down
Ride the wind through the highs & lows
Find a place in between
This flatland life and a south plains dream
This flatland life and a south plains dream
