about

Doesn't rhyme a single time

lyrics

Verse 1
1937
Dust bowl had been blowin
Six long back breaking years
Clarence Fine a farmer's son
From northern Oklahoma
Now just another migrant on the road
Dust Bowl Days

Verse 2
Said in California
Man could make his fortune
Packed his only bag and headed out
Didn't have much money
Carried few possessions
What he had was will to beat his own
Dust Bowl Days

Verse 3
Grapes of wrath were growing
Wouldn't be easy
He wasn't going to let them get him down
Picked grapes in Napa Valley
Citrus in Orange County
Saved a little money when he could
Dust Bowl days

Bridge
Saw her at sunset
Filling one more basket
Weary hands resting on her knees

Verse 4
Her name was Anna Maria
To him she was ambrosia
Smile stole his heart away
Three children and a farm
Would be their destination
For a while there would be no more
Dust Bowl days

Verse 5
You may end up lonely
Full of desperation
Sometimes that’s the way it will be
One man he feels cursed
Another feels blessed
Only difference being how they lived
Dust bowl days

Outro
Dust bowl days
Dust bowl days
Dust bowl days
Etc.
