John Hiatt - 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 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 Chorus John Hiatt Lyrics Dust Down a Country Road Lyrics
