Verse 1

Four months ago in April, on a day-coach she came down
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
I shoulda known I couldn't hold her living out so far from town
And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Verse 2

Well, now she's up and left me, went walkin' down the line
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
All dressed up in red velvet and her high-heeled shoes so fine
And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Bridge

Well, if I'd only known before we kissed
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
So now she's gone and left me, went walkin' down the line
G D | G | G |
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Verse 3

Well, I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Then I'll call my dog and take the truck an' I'll drive on into town
'Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go

Verse 4

Well, I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Then I'll call my dog and take the truck an' I'll drive on into town
'Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go

Outro

And those dusty autumn winds begin to blow
