Song Description
I had way too much time on my hands. Living on my couch, not really writing much, picking lint balls off the carpet, moving slow in the texas heat...I figured at least I'm keeping ahead of the dust. Then I started writing again.

Lyrics
Ahead of the Dust, words & music by Jeff Winter, copyright
My John Deere hasn?t worked for a year
well's gone dry and I drank all my beers
but dont ask me why, I?m still livin here
In my garage I got a ?57
polish the chrome till I can see my reflection
but don?t ask me why, I won?t fix the engine
With so many things around me that rust
at least I been keepin?...ahead of the dust.
She?ll be gone ?bout two years this December
told me she?d write, I guess she couldn?t remember
but don?t ask me why, I got nothing to send her
With so many things around me that rust
at least I been keepin?...ahead of the dust.
I wake at night to a terrible dream,
she comes to see me isn?t everything clean
and when she asks me why my garden isn?t green
Days get long and I can?t get around
sooner than later everybody breaks down
but don?t ask me why, I?m still hangin? around
With so many things around me that bust
at least I been keepin...ahead of the dust.
With all of these things around me that rust
at least I been keepin...ahead of the dust. ...ahead of the dust.
