Could not get to sleep
It was on our wedding night
I was tangled in the sheets
I was dreaming of a light
Pouring from her window
Coming up through the floor
Crashing through the darkness
Through my kitchen door
Down to that old oak table
I went to take a look
My whole life flashed before me
Just like a story book
Well, she used to make me breakfast
Sit around and talk
Another cup of coffee
Or take a little walk
Dust down a country road
Blowing in the wind
Behind an old truck load
Up before the rooster crows
There's an old dog staring
At the dust down a country road
And where that truck is going
I just can't be sure
When tomorrow's just the day
After all that's gone before
I used to think of leaving
I never could stay too long
Now her memory's catching up
And our sweet dreams are all gone
Dust down a country road
Blowing in the wind
Behind an old truck load
Up before the rooster crows
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
I'd catch that old dog napping
And I'd shoot him before it runs
Cause he ain't much good for nothin'
Except staring at the dust
I wonder what he's looking at
Sneaking up on us
Dust down a country road
Blowing in the wind
Behind an old truck load
Up before the rooster crows
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 crows
There's an old dog staring
At the dust down a country road
There's an old dog staring
At the dust down a country road
