Gathering Dust Lyrics - Singles - Justin Haigh

The band has quit playing 

And the house lights are on 

Pry this drink from my fingers 

And the good times are gone. 

There's a girl in the corner 

She's been waiting all night 

For some road weary gypsy 

To take her home for awhile. 

But I ain't got it in me 

All I've got is this guitar 

And I'll keep breaking strings 

But I've long since quit breaking hearts. 

And I'll stick to my guns and keep riding 

Got my sights set on the one that I love 

I'll go where the music will take me 

All the while gathering dust. 

A wise man once told me 

Play it straight from the heart 

'Cause if you don't stand for something 

It will all fall apart 

Like a lonesome dust devil 

Spinning out of control 

Gonna flare up and burn out 

That's the way that it goes. 

So I'll look for a good star in that big Texas sky 

Lord there must be a heaven 

The road is my angel tonight. 

And I'll stick to my guns and keep riding 

Got my sights set on the one that I love 

And I'll go where the music will take me 

All the while gathering dust. 

Yeah I'll stick to my guns and keep riding 

Got my sights set on the one that I love 

And I'll go where the music will take me 

All the while gathering dust. 

The band has quit playing 

They tore it all down 

Pry this drink from my fingers 

Gonna head out of town, Ha!
