《Dust》歌词

[00:00:02] Dust - Carey, Tony

[00:00:03] Written by：Tony Carey

[00:00:28] On a sign I saw hanging in the store today

[00:00:33] It said in big bright red letters there's work in California

[00:00:38] There's an honest job waiting for every good man

[00:00:42] Nobody goes hungry you pick the peaches with your hand

[00:00:47] Cause the cotton don't grow here if it never rains

[00:00:52] And the wind starts to blow here

[00:00:54] And it blows right through your brain

[00:00:56] And carry away what the locust don't get

[00:01:01] And the bills don't get paid and the bank takes the rest

[00:01:06] Fight with the land till it hurts and you don't know what for

[00:01:14] You might call me the salt of the earth but I call me dirt poor

[00:01:23] And the dust coming over the plains doesn't care about me

[00:01:33] See it fill up the sky that's all the convincing I need

[00:01:42] When all I'll be leaving behind me is ashes and rust

[00:01:50] Mama pack up the truck California or bust

[00:02:00] Say goodbye to the dust

[00:02:19] And my granddad he came out here in 1881

[00:02:24] My father he was born here and all of his sons

[00:02:29] And he built this whole please with his two strong hands

[00:02:33] When he died he had faith in hard work and good land

[00:02:38] In the great war and we the carton

[00:02:40] And the army needed cloth

[00:02:42] My dad said get in on the boom boy there's no time to be lost

[00:02:47] And he took a new mortgage the American way

[00:02:51] Then the wind came out of nowhere and it wouldn't go away

[00:02:56] Fight with the land till it hurts and you don't know what for

[00:03:05] You may call me the salt of the earth but I call me dirt poor

[00:03:14] And the dust coming over the plains doesn't care about me

[00:03:24] See it fill up the sky that's all the convincing I need

[00:03:33] When all I'll be leaving behind me is ashes and rust

[00:03:41] Mama pack up the truck California or bust

[00:03:50] Say goodbye to the dust

[00:04:18] And the dust keeps on coming

[00:04:24] Coming and the dust keeps on coming
