Down That Dusty Trail

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
