"Dust Bowl" an oldrottenhead & Hook original

[Hook]

Well someone has been a busy bee, weren't you just complaining about writers block? I'm flattered that my musical ramblings inspired such lyrical excellence.

Dust Bowl

lyrics by oldrottenhead
music by Hook

unanchored soil that turned to dust
dust clouds darkened the sky
through texas and through south dakota
the great black blizzards rolled
right through to the east coast
two days of dust fell on chicago
two million pounds of dirt
and two days later that very same dirt
fell on washington dc
a half a million souls left homeless
abandoned farms from arkansas missouri to nebraska
and many in the exodus died of dust pneumonia
we left our farms in oklahoma
and mass migrated to california

[Oldrottenhead]

This is spectacular!! The music track includes a lots of tasty flavors - sounds really good!! And Jim's lyric puts this to another level - brilliant lyric and singing! Slow tempo works fine!!!

Brilliant job, gents!!

I am transported to a campfire, after all the sing song, drink has all been drank, people just go quiet and no one knows what to say. Then you guys just start playing and singing this, and everyone just sits and listens...

great piece guys... gets better with repeated listening.

cheers

The coming together of heavyweights.  Giants on the shoulders of giants.

Boom, there it is.

 



I think it must be home time now.  Been a long day...
