Lyrics Dust Down A Country Road - John Hiatt

Dust Down A Country Road

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
Dust down a country road
Blowing int he wind
Behind an old truck load
Up before the rooster crowed
Theres an old dog staring
At the dust down a country road
And that truck is going somewhere
I just cant be sure
When tomorrows just the day
After all thats gone before
And I always thought of leaving
I never could stay too long
Now her memorys catching up And our sweet dreams are all gone
If I had a bullet Id put it in this gun
And Id catch that old dog napping
And Id shoot him before he runs
Cause he aint much good for nothin
Except staring at the dust
Lord I wonder what hes looking at Sneaking up on us
