Dust on my heart

(Verse 1)

I grew up where the wind talks to the pines,

Where the sun sets slow and the moon don’t lie.

Old gravel roads, and a rusted-out Ford,

Memories like fire, I can’t ignore.

(Pre-Chorus)

Your shadow’s still dancing in the barnlight,

I chase it every single night.

(Chorus)

There’s dust on my heart, and it won’t wash away,

I feel you in the fields where the children play.

The creek keeps on runnin’, but I’m standin’ still,

Lost in the echoes of your will.

Yeah, dust on my heart, and it won’t let go,

I carry your memory wherever I roam.

(Verse 2)

I remember the laugh that could break the dawn,

And the way your hand fit right in my palm.

The county fair lights, the haystack dreams,

We were fire and gasoline.

(Pre-Chorus)

Your shadow’s still dancing in the barnlight,

I chase it every single night.

(Chorus)

There’s dust on my heart, and it won’t wash away,

I feel you in the fields where the children play.

The creek keeps on runnin’, but I’m standin’ still,

Lost in the echoes of your will.

Yeah, dust on my heart, and it won’t let go,

I carry your memory wherever I roam.

(Bridge)

I’ll ride these roads till the stars fall down,

Till I hear your voice in this quiet town.

A life half-lived feels too small,

But I’ll keep your shadow through it all.

(Final Chorus)

Dust on my heart, and it won’t wash away,

I feel you in the fields where the children play.

The creek keeps on runnin’, but I’m standin’ still,

Lost in the echoes of your will.

Dust on my heart, and it won’t let go,

I carry your memory wherever I roam.
