Dust on my Boots

Verse

There’s dust on my boots and dust on the dash

Highway miles and a whiskey stash

Brown paper bag on the passenger side

Trying to hide what I feel inside

Radio’s low and the moon’s hanging high

Another long road and another goodbye

But every night when the world goes still

There’s a girl in my dreams on a far-off hill

Chorus

She’s in another country, under another sky

But she’s the one I see when I close my eyes

If I had one last wish before I pass

With dust on my boots and dust on the dash

I wouldn’t ask for gold or riches to prove

I’d just wish that girl was mine to love

Verse

I don’t know the roads she’s walking down

Or if she’s ever heard this small-town sound

But somewhere out there past the sea

Is the only place my heart wants to be

So I drive all night through the prairie wind

Thinking maybe someday our roads begin

To cross where the stars shine bright and true

And she’ll see me the way I see you

Chorus

She’s in another country, under another sky

But she’s the one I see when I close my eyes

If I had one last wish before I pass

With dust on my boots and dust on the dash

I wouldn’t ask for gold or riches to prove

I’d just wish that girl was mine to love

Bridge

Maybe fate’s just a winding track

Maybe love finds a way like that

Through oceans wide and midnight blue

One day those dreams might all come true

Chorus

Yeah she’s in another country, under another sky

But she’s the reason that I still try

Through every mile and every crash

With dust on my boots and dust on the dash

If the good Lord asked what I’d choose

Before the light of this life I lose

I’d trade every road that I ever knew

Just to spend one life loving you

Outro

So I’ll keep driving through the night so vast

With dust on my boots and dust on the dash
