Leroy was a farmer and an honest man 乐华是一个农民和一个诚实的人

Would have lived in Oklahoma all his days 本来住在俄克拉何马州所有他的日子

But a hard wind come and blew his dreams away 不过硬的风来吹他的梦想走

So he headed for the West Coast thought he could not lose 于是，他前往西海岸以为他不能失去

Rollin' down the highway with the dustbowl blues 罗林打倒南部沙尘带平原蓝色公路

   

It's a thousand miles from Broken Bow to Bakersfield 这是一个千里从布罗肯鲍到贝克斯菲尔德

And the highway's paved with heartaches all the way 而高速公路的铺设心痛一路

Leroy drove on lookin' for a better deal 乐华开车在追寻的梦想一个更好的交易

A place a man could settle down and stay 一个地方一个人能安定下来，并留

But the police at the state line beat him black and blue 但警方在国行打他遍体鳞伤

Left him lyin' by the roadside with the dustbowl blues 留给他的胡扯与南部沙尘带平原蓝调路边

   

They say California is a paradise 他们说，加州是一个天堂

Hollywood turns night time into day 好莱坞变成夜间到白天

But up along the San Joaquin those city lights 但是，沿着圣华金这些城市的灯光

Might as well be a million miles away 很可能会成为一百万英里远

When your kids are cold and hungry wearin' worn out shoes 当你的孩子又冷又饿穿着45号球衣“踏破铁鞋
