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 in the 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      Like dust down a country road   Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load   Up before the rooster crowed   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   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      Like dust down a country road   Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load   Up before the rooster crowed   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 crowed   There's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road   Now there's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road
