Dust Down A Country Road Lyrics

Could not get to sleep 
It was on my wedding night 
I was tangled in the sheets 
And I was dreaming of a light 
Pouring from her window 
Coming up through the floor 
Lifting up the darkness 
Crashing through my kitchen door 
  
Down to that old oak table 
I went to take a look 
And my whole life flashed before me 
Just like a story book 
She used to make me breakfast 
Or sit around and talk 
Have another cup of coffee 
Or maybe take a little walk 
  
CHORUS: 
Dust down a country road 
Blowing int he wind 
Behind an old truck load 
Up before the rooster crowed 
There's an old dog staring 
At the dust down a country road 
  
And that truck is going somewhere 
I just can't be sure 
When tomorrow's just the day 
After all that's gone before 
And I always thought of leaving 
I never could stay too long 
Now her memory's catching up 
And our sweet dreams are all gone 
  
REPEAT CHORUS 
       
If I had a bullet I'd put it in this
gun 
And I'd catch that old dog napping 
And I'd shoot him before he runs 
Cause he ain't much good for nothin' 
Except staring at the dust 
Lord I wonder what he's looking at 
Sneaking up on us 
  
REPEAT CHORUS
