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
