"I Come From America" is the first single from the album "Dust Bowl - American Stories" - this song chronicles the plight of Americans during the 1930s who found themselves unwanted migrants in their own country. The severe drought in the Great Plains known as the Dust Bowl caused millions of Americans to abandon their homes and seek work elsewhere. It's a cautionary tale about the environment, and about what it means to be an American.

I left her but she’s still strong in me We broke down in Kingman so we Walked to Bakersfield Don’t you know the mother road? I Come from America America, America I Come from America America’s from me Can you hear the pilgrim in my voice? Blown ashore by unforgiving winds Beggars can’t be choosers But we choose to still be men Don’t you know – don’t you know? Chorus We’re the desperate and unwanted We’re the strangers from the shanty side of town Do my eyes look proud but haunted? That’s the destiny in me That’s the Texas that you see Can you feel the prairie on my skin? Baked and brown from work and sweat and tears Daddy always told me That the dirt would take us in Don’t you know? Don’t you know? I Come from America America, America I Come from America America’s from me
