Handshakes & Faith Lyrics by Kolton Moore & The Clever Few
How many screens can you watch at one time
How many questions can you ask
Wish you could read my damn mind
I don’t think it was meant to be this way
But that’s just the world that we’re living in today
Yeah, the sound waves move faster than your brain
And the pump jacks get replaced with a stain
On a landscape built by handshakes and faith
I fear I’m just a visitor, not welcomed in this place
20 years ago I recall
Costal fields turned into strip malls
Working man left with no other way
They took everything he loved
Tore it down and hauled it away
Now it’s little California
Houses full of prescription drugs
Depression and paranoia
Yeah the sound waves move faster than your brain
And the pump jacks get replaced with a stain
On a landscape built by handshakes and faith
I fear I’m just a visitor, not welcomed in this place
They say hindsight’s 20/20
That’s what I’ve always heard
But is it worth all the money
If they ain’t making anymore dirt
