Dust Bowl

Gonna make my own way
I'm gonna head downtown
Walk around, settle down
Find me a proper drink

Don't need a helmet
To get me through life
I walk across the water
Blame it on foolish pride

Lifting me up
Tearing me down
All you give me is indecision
The classic run-around

Bringin' me higher
Keepin' me whole
Now I feel like I'm livin'
Livin' in a dust bowl

Diamonds and pearls
You're that kind of girl
You size me up to break me down
While you're sippin' on your crown royal

I'll give you shelter
Babe, it's your call
It's hard to find truth within
When you're livin' in your own zone

Lifting me up
Tearing me down
All you give me is indecision
The classic run-around

Bringin' me higher
Keepin' me whole
Now I feel like I'm livin'
Livin' in a dust bowl

Pride and deception
The same kind of pain
And all that's left for me to lose
Is meant for you to gain

Playin' it close
Stealing your time
But who cares anyway?
I've gone the extra mile

Lifting me up
Tearing me down
All you give me is indecision
The classic run-around

Bringin' me higher
Keepin' me whole
Now I feel like I'm livin'
Livin' in a dust bowl

(They say this town is a sunny place for shady people)
Livin' in a dust bowl
(Vultures circling)
(The road stretched on forever)
Livin' in a dust bowl
(A black widow under a white umbrella)
