Dry dusty road

Dry dusty road

Brother, won't you carry me along

This dry dusty road

Children shallying

Playing in the morning sun

Spike-heeled lady

Running through the burying ground

You set my soul on fire

You set me on my own

Broke-down car but the wheels still roll

Down the dry, dry dusty road

Stuck inside a tunnel

Beset with diamond lies

Wings of night enclosing

Like a long, long night without a dawning

Being bent on ruin

I tried to sell my name

All that I got for it

Was one good look at flame

Drive, drive dusty road

Dry dusty road

Oh brother, let me carry you along

This dry dusty road

In that flame I saw a face

I've never seen before

If they ask me why, I know

Just who I done this for

No one else to come to

Not much else I know

Not much else I'm good for

Lay away my lady-o

You set my soul on fire

You set me on my own

Broke-down car but the wheels still roll

Down the dry, dry dusty road

Dry dusty road

Dry, dry

Dry dusty road

Dry dusty road

Dry dusty road
