[Verse 1] Four a.m. in Savannah town, Old Pete rumblin’, shakin’ the ground. Coffee strong in a stained-up cup, Thankin’ the Lord that the truck fired up. Headed south with the headlights low, Chasin’ another heavy load. Trinity waitin’ when the sun breaks gold, Another long day down that dusty road. [Chorus] Down that dusty road again, Sunrise shinin’ through the wind. Steel and lumber, chains and chrome, A few more miles ‘til headin’ home. Lord willing and the diesel flows, We keep rollin’ where the hard work goes. Tryin’ to make a livin’ hauling heavy loads, Somewhere down that dusty road. [Verse 2] Athens nights and the mill lights glow, Radios hummin’ soft and low. Tarps pulled tight with a west wind blowin’, Another late run and we just keep goin’. Fuel keeps risin’, tires wear thin, Some weeks lose and some weeks win. But a man keeps faith in the work he knows, Livin’ life out on dusty roads. [Chorus] Down that dusty road again, Sunrise shinin’ through the wind. Steel and lumber, chains and chrome, A few more miles ‘til headin’ home. Lord willing and the diesel flows, We keep rollin’ where the hard work goes. Tryin’ to make a livin’ hauling heavy loads, Somewhere down that dusty road. [Verse 3] Athens to Milan, back again, Fightin’ fuel prices and the wind. Some days up and some days slow, That’s life out here on a dusty road. Drivers quit and breakdown lights, Long hard days and sleepless nights. But the bills get paid when the wheels still roll, And faith keeps steady on this dusty road. [Bridge] Daddy sang “Down the Dusty Road” In a little church years ago. Never dreamed that simple song Would shape the road I’d travel on. Then one day he looked at me and said, “Son, people will see you before they see me.” “Represent this company with pride…” So I’ve carried those words with every load. [Final Chorus] Down that dusty road again, Sunrise shinin’ through the wind. Steel and lumber, chains and chrome, A few more miles ‘til headin’ home. Lord willing and the diesel flows, We keep rollin’ where the hard work goes. Eighteen gears and a heart of gold, Rollin’ on down that dusty road. [Outro] Yeah… rollin’ on down that dusty road.
