Jerry Jeff Walker - Long Old Dusty Road lyrics

Seemed like only yesterday, we first drove up that road Looking back I see it's more like twenty odd years ago We were young and so in love, with a long long row to hoe We came and went and our lives were spent up a long old dusty road When we first got married, we searched to find a home We found one at the end of a long old dusty road We fixed it up with love and watched our children grow The years flew by and we lived our lives up a long old dusty road When our children came we added one room at the start But what was really added on was more room in our hearts Then our house went from a thing we used to a happy home A place that shared a common face up a long old dusty road Yeah the home is where you dream your dreams, It's where your children grow It's where you take your meals, where you say your prayers And the first home that you ever own is where all those memories start And it always holds a special place, deep inside your heart Then came we day we faced the facts our kids had grown Seemed our little family had just outgrown our home I didn't believe we'd leave the hilltop we loved so But there comes a time when you say good-bye to the long old dusty road 'Cause a home is where you dreamed your dreams, It's where all your children grow It's where you took your meals, Where you said your prayers And the first home that you ever own That's where all those memories start And it always holds a special place, Deep inside your heart Seems like only yesterday, we first drove up that road Looking back I see it's more like twenty odd years ago We were young and so in love, with a long, long row to hoe We came and went and our lives were spent up a long old dusty road We came and went and our lives were spent up a long old dusty road
