Inspired by the 'Great Depression' as described in the novel "The Grapes of Wrath"
lyrics
up from the ground,
I'll build up from the ground,
Heading west, where I know it is best for people like us,
We could work, in the sun, for a meal and a buck,
I will build us, up from the ground,
Not sticking around,
No more sticking around,
We have tried everything but got beaten round after round,
And we took, everything, that this truck could hold on,
Not for us, our fighting is done,
The man came so fast,
In his black shiny car,
He said "I own this land" and "prepare - progress is, coming to town"
And we watched, as the tractor, pushed us out of our ground,
No more tears, we are undone,
Oh ,dirt filled roads,
You got us now,
No more money, no fuel, we are runing on the faith that we've found,
Orange county, your blossom, will one day be mine,
Where I could build us up, up from the ground,
