Down That Dusty Trail
Robert Earl Keen

When I was a young boy

The only things that really mattered were

Making friends and having fun

Walkin' down the railroad track

'Til you reached the river

Turn around and head on back

When the day is done


Chorus

Ain't it like they always say

Everybody goes their own way

Nobody knows no one can tell

It's always been the same for me

Guess it's just the way it must be

Headin' down that dusty trail


When I was a young man

The only things

That got me goin' were

Gettin' high and chasm' love

Lyin' down beside my girl

On the banks of the river

With nothin' but some mustang wine

And all the stars above


It's a twistin' turnin' windin' road

I get lost and broken down

I'm a stumbler and it won't be long

'Till stumble back around

Since I became my own man

Everything that matters to me is

Making sure I'm staying true

To my friends and the ones I love

'Till cross that river

All alone I'm movin' on Until my time is through
