Hard Times on the Dusty Trail

Dusty roads and fading skies, dreams left behind

Whisperin' winds, carry my tears, stories untold

Mama's voice echoing through these quiet nights

Farm's been dry, the rain just ain't enough

Hard work, soaked in sweat and hope

Tryin' to hold on, when life's been tough

Looking for a sign, in the dark I pray

Lost in the pain, but I won't fade away

Shadows of the past, try to pull me down

But I keep walkin', feet on this ground

I'm a lonely country boy, fightin' through the storm

Struggles in my soul, but I stay strong and warm

Through the tears and the fears, I keep holdin' on

One more dawn, till the pain is gone

Stars above, they shine for me, guide my way

Hope's a whisper in the wind, making a new day

Heart of a fighter, soul of a free man

Gonna rise again, with the strength I stand

Country winds, carry my song, far and wide

This lonely boy, with dreams that won't die

Hard times fade, as I find my peace

In this rugged life, I’ll find release
