Down That Dusty Trail — текст песни (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
