Dust Down A Country Road Lyrics - John Hiatt

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 in the 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 

Like dust down a country road 

Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load 

Up before the rooster crowed 

There's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road 

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 

Like dust down a country road 

Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load 

Up before the rooster crowed 

There's an old dog staring at the dust

Dust down a country road 

Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load 

Up before the rooster crowed 

There's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road 

Now there's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road
