Gathering Dust Lyrics - Singles - Kevin Higgins

The band has quit playin' 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 a while 

I ain't got it in me... all I got's this guitar 

Yeah, I'll keep breakin' strings, 

But, I've long since quit breakin' hearts 

So, I'll stick to my guns and keep ridin' 

Got my sights set on the one that I love 

And I'll go where the music will take me 

All the while gatherin' dust 

A wise man once told me, "Play it straight from the heart... 

if you don't stand for something it will all fall apart." 

Like a lonesome dust devil spinnin' out of control 

Gonna flare up and burn out, that's just the way that it goes 

And I'll look for a good star in this big Texas sky 

There must be a heaven, the road is my angel tonight 

And I'll stick to my guns and keep ridin' 

Got my sights set on the one that I love 

And I'll go where the music will take me 

All the while gatherin' dust 

The band has quit playin' and we've tore it all down 

Take this drink from my fingers, we gotta head out of town
