Leroy's Dustbowl Blues
Leroy was a farmer and an honest man Would have lived in oklahoma all his days He just wanted left alone to work a piece of land But a hard wind come and blew his dreams away So he headed for the west coast thought he could not lose Rollin' down the highway with the dustbowl blues
It's a thousand miles from broken bow to bakersfield And the highway's paved with heartaches all the way Leroy drove on lookin' for a better deal A place a man could settle down and stay Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But the police at the state line beat him black and blue Left him lyin' by the roadside with the dustbowl blues
They say california is a paradise Hollywood turns night time into day But up along the san joaquin those city lights Might as well be a million miles away When your kids are cold and hungry wearin' worn out shoes Standin' in the garden with the dustbowl blues
