I'm gonna make my own way 
I'm gonna head downtown 
Walk around, settle down, 
Find me a proper drink 
Don't need a helmet 
To get me through life 
I walk across the water 
Blame it on foolish pride 

Lifting me up 
Tearing me down 
All you give me is indecision 
the classic run-around 
Bringing me higher 
Keeping me whole 
Now I feel like I'm living 
Living in a Dust Bowl 

Diamonds and pearls 
You're that kind of girl 
You size me up, to break me down 
While you're sipping on your crown royal 
I'll give you shelter 
Babe, it's your call 
It's hard to find truth within 
When you're living in your own zone 

Lifting me up 
Tearing me down 
All you give me is indecision 
the classic run-around 
Bringing me higher 
Keeping me whole 
Now I feel like I'm living 
Living in a Dust Bowl 

Pride and deception 
The same kind of pain 
And all that's left for me to lose 
Is meant for you to gain 
Playing it close 
Stealing your time 
But who cares anyway? 
I've gone the extra mile 

Lifting me up 
Tearing me down 
All you give me is indecision 
the classic run-around 
Bringing me higher 
Keeping me whole 
Now I feel like I'm living 
Living in a Dust Bowl 

Living in a Dust Bowl
