ogallala aquifer - mccarthy trenching lyrics

Loading...

did you know there exists a sixth great lake
beneath the great plains of the united states?
a government geologist decided to call it
the ogallala aquifer

zebulon pike thought there wasn’t a chance
that people could live, much less cattle and plants
but the farmers and ranchers, they found an answer:
the ogallala aquifer

formed in the age of the sabertooth cat —
what thirsty traveler could’ve conceived of that?
anywhere in the sandhills, a well and a windmill:
the ogallala aquifer

do you ever imagine that deep in your heart
there might be a fathomless reservoir?
something that’s ancient and hidden and pure?
for our country, that’s no metaphor
