Leroy's Dustbowl Blues - Steve Earle[00:00:00]
Leroy was a farmer and an honest man[00:00:22]
Would have lived in Oklahoma all his days[00:00:26]
He just wanted left alone to work a piece of land[00:00:30]
But a hard wind come and blew his dreams away[00:00:35]
So he headed for the West Coast thought he could not lose[00:00:39]
Rolling down the highway with the dustbowl blues[00:00:44]
It's a thousand miles from Broken Bow to Bakersfield[00:01:18]
And the highway's paved with heartaches all the way[00:01:22]
Leroy drove on looking for a better deal[00:01:26]
A place a man could settle down and stay[00:01:30]
But the police at the state line beat him black and blue[00:01:35]
Left him lying by the roadside with the dustbowl blues[00:01:40]
They say California is a paradise[00:02:14]
Hollywood turns night time into day[00:02:18]
But up along the San Joaquin those city lights[00:02:22]
Might as well be a million miles away[00:02:26]
When your kids are cold and hungry wearing worn out shoes[00:02:30]
Standin' in the garden with the dustbowl blues[00:02:36]
