Testo Dust Bowl - Natalie Merchant
Testo della canzone Dust Bowl (Natalie Merchant), tratta dall'album Live In Concert
I should know to leave them home
They follow me to the store
With these toys I can't afford
"Kids, take them back
You know better than that"
Dolls that talk, astronauts, TV games, airplanes
They don't understand
And how can I explain?
I tried and tried, but I can't save
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away
I tried and tried, but I can't save
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure
All night with alcohol
Trying to cool a tender other down
"Ruby, I'm tired
You try and try and get some sleep"
I'm adding doctor's fees to remedies
To the cost of three days' work lost
I tried and tried, but I can't save
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away
I tried and tried, but I can't save
The hole in my pocketbook is growing
There's a new wind blowing
They say it's gonna be a cold, cold one
Brace yourselves, my darlings
'Cause it won't bring
Anything much our way
But more Dust Bowl days
I played a card in this week's game
I took the first and the last letters
In three of their names
This lottery's been building up for weeks
I could be lucky me with the five million prize
Tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes
I tried and tried, but I can't save
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away
I tried and tried, but I can't save
The hole in my pocketbook is growing
There's a new wind blowing
They say it's gonna be a cold, cold one
Brace yourselves, my darlings
There's a new wind blowing
They say it's gonna be a cold, cold one
Brace yourselves, my darlings
'Cause it's gonna be a cold, cold one
There's a new wind blowing
They say it's gonna be a cold, cold one
So brace yourselves, my darlings
'Cause it won't bring anything much our way
But more Dust Bowl days
