[Intro] [slide guitar melody with vibrato, acoustic guitar strumming, steady kick drum] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] I woke up this morning [snare hit] With the rain against my door I woke up this morning With the rain against my door Ain't got nobody waiting Ain't got nowhere to go no more [Instrumental Break] [slide guitar solo with bluesy bends and vibrato] [Verse 2] I put on my old coat Found my hat beside the bed I put on my old coat Found my hat beside the bed There's a thousand things I'm thinking But your memory fills my head [Verse 3] I hear that old train calling Somewhere down the line I hear that old train calling Somewhere down the line Maybe I'll keep walking Till I leave this trouble behind [Chorus] [vocals become more powerful and raspy] I got dust on my shoes And fire in my soul I got dust on my shoes But I'm still on the road Every mile that I travel Takes me farther from you I got dust on my shoes and nothing left to lose [Guitar Solo] [distorted electric guitar solo, heavy use of pentatonic scales and sustain] [Verse 4] There was a time you told me That you'd never let me down There was a time you told me That you'd never let me down Now I'm talking to the shadows Of a love that ain't around [Verse 5] Your photograph is fading on the dresser by the wall Your photograph is fading on the dresser by the wall Funny how the sweetest memories Can hurt you most of all I tried to hold the pieces I tried to make them stay But some things break forever When they break that way [Chorus] [high energy, belted vocals] I got dust on my shoes And fire in my soul I got dust on my shoes But I'm still on the road Every mile that I travel Takes me farther from you I got dust on my shoes and nothing left to lose [Bridge] [drums continue driving beat, slide guitar fills] I say I'm moving on I'm moving on Ain't looking back Ain't looking back no more [Verse 6] Maybe someday I'll remember Without feeling all this pain Maybe someday I'll remember Without feeling all this pain Maybe I'll hear your name And it won't sound like falling rain But tonight I'm just a traveler With a long road left to ride But tonight I'm just a traveler With a long road left to ride I got nothing but my memories And this open road outside [Outro] I tried to hold the pieces I tried to make them stay But some things break forever When they break that way I got dust on my shoes And fire in my soul I got dust on my shoes But I'm still on the road Every mile that I travel Takes me farther from you I got dust on my shoes and nothing left to lose [final slide guitar flourish, fade out]
