Long Ol' Dusty Road
Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker



Seemed like only yesterday, we first drove up that road

Looking back I see it's more like twenty odd years ago

We were young and so in love, with a long long row to hoe

We came and went and our lives were spent up a long old dusty road



When we first got married, we searched to find a home

We found one at the end of a long old dusty road

We fixed it up with love and watched our children grow

The years flew by and we lived our lives up a long old dusty road



When our children came we added one room at the start

But what was really added on was more room in our hearts

Then our house went from a thing we used to a happy home

A place that shared a common face up a long old dusty road



Yeah the home is where you dream your dreams,

It's where your children grow

It's where you take your meals, where you say your prayers

And the first home that you ever own is where all those memories start

And it always holds a special place, deep inside your heart



Then came we day we faced the facts our kids had grown

Seemed our little family had just outgrown our home

I didn't believe we'd leave the hilltop we loved so

But there comes a time when you say good-bye to the long old dusty road



'Cause a home is where you dreamed your dreams,

It's where all your children grow

It's where you took your meals,

Where you said your prayers

And the first home that you ever own

That's where all those memories start

And it always holds a special place,

Deep inside your heart



Seems like only yesterday, we first drove up that road

Looking back I see it's more like twenty odd years ago

We were young and so in love, with a long, long row to hoe

We came and went and our lives were spent up a long old dusty road

We came and went and our lives were spent up a long old dusty road
