Dust Song

We're down on our luck and gettin' lower each day
The dust cloud came and stole the sun away
And the neighbors told us not to go outside
You know I'm just a boy I'm not prepared to die
Lord won't you let me down easy please
Show my your mercy I'm a human being, that's all
Just a' lookin' for somethin' to believe
The dust keeps comin' like the devils storm
It fills your boots all thick and warm
The baby died the other night
You know it wrapped him in the ground so tight
Lord won't you let me down easy please
Show my your mercy I'm a human being, that's all
Just a' lookin' for somethin' to believe
We packed it all in a flatbed ford
'Cause the politicians never said a word
And we ain't got nothin' if the crops don't last
California we'll be comin' fast
Lord won't you let me down easy please
Show my your mercy I'm a human being, that's all
Just a' lookin' for somethin' to believe
