Just off the road leading into the town Is where Dusty lived down by the tracks Where the trains running by raise the dust From the ground by her family shack
She could have been any rich man's queen She was pretty enough, that's a fact I still don't know why but for some reason I was the reason she never looked back
Oh Dusty, just one more time Let me trust in your heart like you trust in mine My morning road winding off in the dunes Always leads back to you
Not every tale has such a happy ending Days whistle by like the trains But just the thought of my Dusty's befriending Is shelter enough from the rain
Someday I'll find her a place by the river Far from this dusty old town That's where her bare feet will never be dusty again When the sun goes down
Oh Dusty, just one more time Let me trust in your heart like you trust in mine My morning road winding off in the dunes Always leads back to you
