My daddy was the dusty road my mama was the wind
I been told that travelin' was the nickname of my kin
My brothers are the mountains my sisters are the seas
I don't take to settlin' down and they don't take to me
I thank you for the sunshine that kept me warm today
I thank you for the tenderness that almost made me stay
I could learn to love you until the end of time
If settlin' down was stronger than the leavin' on my mind
My daddy was the dusty road...
[ guitar - steel ]
More than once today my heart was tempted by your touch
You would be the one if I should use to fall in love
I don't want to leave you with promises and dreams
They would only slip away from you to fall on me
My daddy was the dusty road...
My daddy was the dusty road...
