Intro

   
   
    
    

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Down to that old oak table I went to take a look
And my whole life passed before me just like a story book
She used to make me breakfast sit around and talk 
Have another cup of coffee maybe take a little walk

Chorus

Like dust down a country road 
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load
up before the roster crowed
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road

Verse 3

That truck is going somewhere I just can't be sure
And tomorrow's just a day after all that's gone before
I always thought of leaving I never could stay too long 
Now her memory's catching up and her sweet dreams are all gone

Chorus

Like dust down a country road 
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load
up before the roster crowed
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road

Verse 4

If I had a bullet I'd put in this gun
And I'd catch that old dog naping and shoot him fore he'd run
Cause he ain't much good for nothing cept starring at the dust
Lord I wonder what he's looking at sneaking up on us

Chorus

Like dust down a country road 
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load
up before the roster crowed
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road
