Dust Down A Country Road - 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 int he wind

Behind an old truck load

Up before the rooster crowed

Theres an old dog staring

At the dust down a country road

And that truck is going somewhere

I just cant be sure

When tomorrows just the day

After all thats gone before

And I always thought of leaving

I never could stay too long

Now her memorys catching up And our sweet dreams are all gone

If I had a bullet Id put it in this gun

And Id catch that old dog napping

And Id shoot him before he runs

Cause he aint much good for nothin

Except staring at the dust

Lord I wonder what hes looking at Sneaking up on us
