Robert Hunter - Dry Dusty Road lyrics

Dry dusty road Dry dusty road Brother, won't you carry me along This dry dusty road Children shallying Playing in the morning sun Spike-heeled lady Running through the burying ground You set my soul on fire You set me on my own Broke-down car but the wheels still roll Down the dry, dry dusty road Stuck inside a tunnel Beset with diamond lies Wings of night enclosing Like a long, long night without a dawning Being bent on ruin I tried to sell my name All that I got for it Was one good look at flame Drive, drive dusty road Dry dusty road Oh brother, let me carry you along This dry dusty road In that flame I saw a face I've never seen before If they ask me why, I know Just who I done this for No one else to come to Not much else I know Not much else I'm good for Lay away my lady-o You set my soul on fire You set me on my own Broke-down car but the wheels still roll Down the dry, dry dusty road Dry dusty road Dry, dry Dry dusty road Dry dusty road Dry dusty road
