Just off the road leading into the town
Is where Dusty lived down by the tracks
Where the trains running by raise the dust
From the ground by her family shack

She could have been any rich man's queen
She was pretty enough, that's a fact
I still don't know why but for some reason
I was the reason she never looked back

Oh Dusty, just one more time
Let me trust in your heart like you trust in mine
My morning road winding off in the dunes
Always leads back to you

Not every tale has such a happy ending
Days whistle by like the trains
But just the thought of my Dusty's befriending
Is shelter enough from the rain

Someday I'll find her a place by the river
Far from this dusty old town
That's where her bare feet will never be dusty again
When the sun goes down

Oh Dusty, just one more time
Let me trust in your heart like you trust in mine
My morning road winding off in the dunes
Always leads back to you

It always leads back to you
