Colorado Dustbowl Days Lyrics by Cris Williamson

Prairie Fire

2005

Living in the dust bowl
Colorado plays
The winter wheat was planted
And waiting for the rain
Sun so high that midday, yeah
She heard a rattle in the fields
It set her nerves to [?], yeah
Dustbowl refugee, yeah
[Chorus]
Colorado dustbowl days
Mama grab the children
Colorado dustbowl days
Hold a little kid's hand
Colorado dustbowl days
Run for the doorway
Run as fast as you can
Harrowed ground so dry now
Sod was torn apart
One glance at the horizon, yeah
Nearly stopped a heart
Westward to the mountain, yeah
Eight miles rising high, yeah
The universe was seething dust, yeah
So white it filled the sky, yeah
Colorado dustbowl days
Mama grab the children
Colorado dustbowl days
Hold a little kid’s hand
Colorado dustbowl days
Run for the doorway
Run as fast as you can
Build a fence of barbed wire
Keep it out and keep it in
You endlessly begin
But from Texas to the north pole
There's nothing to stop the wind
Nothing to stop the wind
Mama
Grab the children
Oooh
Hold a little kid's hand
Run, run for a doorway
Run as fast as you can, yeah
[Chorus]
Colorado dustbowl days
Mama grab your children
Colorado dustbowl days
Hold a little kid’s hand
Colorado dustbowl days
Run for the doorway
Run as fast as you can
Colorado dustbowl days
Mama grab the children
Colorado dustbowl days
Hold a little kid's hand
Colorado dustbowl days
Run for a doorway
Run, run
Run as fast as you can
[Outro]
Mama
(The children)
Days
[?]
Yeah
Ooh
The children
Run for a doorway
