Dustbowl

You've been beaten down, but you rise

From the dust they threw in your eyes

They tried to bury you, but you crawled

Out from underneath the feet that stomp

It ain't safe at night, in your home

They set your house alight to take care of their own

The fires burning now, as they feed

And from the ashes the phoenix is freed

Dustbowl Willy was a quiet boy with hunger in his eyes

Just a young fool of a barkeep cut him down to size

Timid man thought his lot was just misgiving
