Flatter than a table top Makes you wonder why they stopped here Wagon must have lost a wheel Or they lacked ambition oneIn the great migration west Separated from the rest Though they might have tried their best They never caught the sunSo they sunk some roots down in this dirt To keep from blowin' off the earth Built a town right here When the dust had all but clearedThey called it Levelland Levelland LevellandGrand dad grew the dry land wheat Stood on his own two feet His mind got incomplete And they put him in a homeDaddy's cotton grows so high Sucks the water table dry His rolling sprinklers circle back Bleeding it to the boneAnd I won't be here when it comes the day It all dries up and blows away I'd hang around just to see But they never had much use for meIn Levelland They don't understand me In LevellandWell I watch those ships trails comin' out that big blue sky Coast to coasters, watch 'em go And I don't blame 'em one damn bit If they never look down on this Ain't much down here they'd want to knowJust Levelland You could wash your hands In nothin' but LevellandMama used to roll her hair Back before the central air We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night She tell me to make a wish I'd wish we both could fly I don't think she's seen the sky Since we got the satellite dishI can hear the marching band Doing the best they can to play Smoke on the water And joy to the worldI payed up all my debts Got some change left over yet I'm getting on a whisper jet Going to fly as far as I can getFrom Levelland Done the best I can In Levelland
