[Intro] [Verse 1] Woke up this morning – coffee’s bitter like my fate, Rain is tapping on the roof, knocking at the gate. Old dog's whimpering by the door – he knows I’m gonna leave, Walking in these circles, with no tricks up my sleeve. [Chorus] Dusty road is lonely, streets are dark and cold, Dusty road ahead of me – no turning back, I’m told. Heart is beating heavy, like a hollow bass line chord, Give me back what’s lost out there – a hundred roads ago, my Lord. [instrumental] [Verse 2] You just left a simple note – "Don't you come for me," Ashtray's full of shadows where your ghost used to be. Two fingers of whiskey, blues on old FM, I ain't complaining, baby – just alone again. [Chorus] Dusty road is lonely, streets are dark and cold, Dusty road ahead of me – no turning back, I’m told. Heart is beating heavy, like a hollow bass line chord, Give me back what’s lost out there – a hundred roads ago, my Lord. [Bridge] The guitar’s weeping out the words I could never say, Six strings know the truth – I’m worn, but here to stay. Every crossroads that I pass is just another scar, But I’m still moving on, ma’am... I’ve come this far. [Verse 3] Morning’s coming back again, bitter coffee, smoke, Maybe it’s the final night of this lonely joke. Old dog raises up his head, gives his tail a sway, And we’ll take that dusty road – together on our way. [Chorus — final, slower] Dusty road is calling, now the lamp is bright, Dusty road is clearing – someone's standing in the light. Heart is beating louder, like it's finally free, Maybe God has heard the prayer I whispered on road sixty-three. [Outro — spoken/half-whisper] A hundred roads ago... Yeah... A hundred roads ago.
