Four months ago in april on a daycoach she came down   And the dust autumn winds begin to blow   Shoulda known I couldn't hold livin' out so far from town   And the nights to come are long are slow to go   Well now she's up and left me and when walkin' down the line   And the dusty autumn wind begins to blow   All dressed up in red velvet and he high heeled shoes so fine   And the nights to come are long and slow to go      Well if I had only know before we kissed   You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this      Oh now she's gone and left me and went walkin' down the line   And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow      Well I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around   When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow   Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll drive on into town   Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go      Well I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around   When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow   Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll drive on into town   Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go   And those dusty autumn winds begin to blow
