Music and production by The Glen Granthem Band
This is our 3rd collaboration together...many thanks to Glen
My lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.

HE GREW UP IN THE DUST BOWL
IN A SMALL TOWN IN OKLAHOMA
NO JOBS, JUST DUST AND MORE DUST
DREAMING ABOUT CALIFORNIA

ONE DAY HE DECIDED TO HEAD WEST
THE ROAD WAS LONG AND HARD
HITCH HIKING WHEN HE COULD
JUMPIN FREIGHT CARS IN TRAIN YARDS

A SIGN PAINTER BY TRADE
LOST HIS BRUSHES ON THE ROAD
MANAGED TO HANG ON TO HIS HARP
THE BOY WAS LONELY AND AFRAID

HE MADE IT TO THE GOLD COAST
FLAT BROKE AND HUNGRY
WITH ONLY THE SHIRT ON BACK
NEEDED SOME FOOD BADLY

STARTED PLAYING HIS HARP AND SINGING  
ON A STREET CORNER FOR NICKLES AND DIMES
SOON THE CROWDS WERE GATHERING
TO HEAR THE BOY FROM THE DUST BOWL

HE WAS THEN OFFERED A GIG AT A BAR
WITH A BORROWED GUITAR AND HARP
HE WAS SOON ON THE ROAD TO BEING A STAR
A RECORD DEAL WAS IN THE MAKING

CHORUS
FROM THE DUST BOWL TO STARDOM
THE YOUNG MAN NEVER GAVE UP
FROM THE DUST BOWL TO STARDOM
SOME SAY IT WAS DUMB LUCK
FROM THE DUST BOWL TO STARDOM
HE NEVER GAVE UP…HE NEVER GAVE UP

BRIDGE
HE WROTE SONGS ABOUT THE WORKING MAN
BECAUSE HE CARED ABOUT THE WORKING MAN

(REPEAT CHORUS)
