JOHN HIATT lyrics : "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





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
