Leroy's Dustbowl Blues - Steve Earle
-intro GFGFGFGF
GLeroy was a farmer Fand an honest Cman G
GWould have lived in OklahFoma all his days D
GHe just wanted leftF alone to work a piCece of land G
But a harGd wind come and blew hisF dreams away G
So he headCed for the West Coast thought he could noDt lose
GRollin' down the highFway with the Cdustbowl blues G
-repeat chrd sequence between verses-
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
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
