dust on the road

Singer:big country

little girl racing the setting sun

kicking up dirt from here to jackson

got to be home by supper time

or her brand new daddy's gonna tan her hide

while the little girl's momma she walks the floor

she was miss mississippi back in '84

daddy's got a belly full of cheap red wine

momma knows that daddy's not the marrying kind

dust on the road catches your eye

flies from the wheels of other lives

like shiny cars

as the years go by

leave you behind

dust on the road

red and blue lights on a bedroom wall

grown man's voice says down the hall

by the bed side a little girl prays

the lord moves in mysterious ways

momma walks in saying it's all right now

an angel of mercy in a coat and gown

in the cracked rear view of a beat-up olds

everything fades in the dust on the road

dust on the road catches your eye

flies from the wheels of other lives

like shiny cars

like the years roll by

leave you behind

dust on the road

dust on the road catches your eye

flies from the wheels of other lives

like shiny cars

like the years roll by

leave you behind

dust on the road
