MAGGIE & TERRE ROCHE
"Burden Of Proof"
(Margaret Roche)

The world is handout on the corners
And the burden of proof is on you

Consider the lilies how they grow
They toil nor do they spin
Yet look at the shape they're in
Oh I wanna make my living
In the valley where the lilies grow

And in this struggle
It's important that
I know that you are mine
The world is handout on the corners
And the burden of proof is on me

Tell you what I'll take you to Texas
To eat breakfast at a grapefruit stand
We'll carry all we own in our hands
And we'll take off all of our clothes
And go swimmin' in the Rio Grande
Try lookin' up luck
In the back of a pickup truck
Pick up the makings of a man

And in this struggle
It's important that
You know that you are fine
The world is handout on the corners
And the burden of proof is on you

And when he's gone
I wonder if a son
Will ever happen again
Will ever happen again
