|
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
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Dust down a country road
|
Blowing int he 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
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
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
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
