Dusty Roads
So I’m locked outside the apartment
and the rain is pouring down
Been so long that I’ve been gone so I guess
It’s no surprise no one’s around
Still I was hoping that I’d see someone
On the street or from my car
Guess I was mistaken when I left here
The road could only take me so far
(C) I wish someone had tried to tell me
I wish they’d tried to make me stay
I might not have listened but then how could I
have known that everything would turn out this way?
Now I’m back home, but I don’t live here
All the faces they have changed
Those dusty roads just rubbed my eyes raw
I’m alone and I’m ashamed
Thought I’d come back like a hero
Having seen the things I saw
But time has worn away all the things I loved
Guess I’ll just get back in my car
