Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road, Lord, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' where the water taste like wine
I'm goin' where the water taste like wine
I'm goin' where the water taste like wine, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 3]
I'm goin' where the dust storms never blow
I'm goin' where them dust storms never blow
I'm goin' where them dust storms never blow, blow, blow
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 4]
They say I'm a dust bowl refugee
Yes, they say I'm a dust bowl refugee
They say I'm a dust bowl refugee, Lord, Lord
But I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 5]
I'm lookin' for a job at honest pay
I'm lookin' for a job at honest pay
I'm lookin' for a job at honest pay, Lord, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 6]
My children need three square meals a day
Now my children need three square meals a day
My children need three square meals a day, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 7]
It takes a ten-dollar shoe to fit me feet
It takes a ten-dollar shoe to fit me feet
It takes a ten-dollar shoe to fit me feet, Lord, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 8]
Your two-dollar shoe hurts my feet
Your two-dollar shoe hurts my feet
Yes, your two-dollar shoe hurts my feet, Lord, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
[Verse 9]
I'm goin' down this old dusty road
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road, Lord, Lord
And I ain't going to be treated this way
