lyrics

Casy was a lean young man, maybe seventeen, no more
and with his father worked the land
some ninety acres ‘round junction four
When the bank foreclosed on them it was a sad, sad time indeed
they lost their home, they lost their land
and there were hungry mouths to feed

You search your heart to find the answer
some people just don’t understand I guess, but
it’s a shame that we could treat each other
so unkind

Casy headed out one day with a .410 at his side
he held a bank up at high noon
and even killed one man inside
His father stood there right beside him after they caught Casy on the run
said to the judge, “You took my home, you took my land
and now you take my son

You search your heart to find the answer
some people just don’t understand I guess, but
it’s a shame that we could treat each other
so unkind

We’ve got to figure some way to stop this
it’s not like lightning or hurricanes
we’ve got a bad thing made by men
and by God that’s something we can change
