Ahead of the Dust

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.

Song Length 3:52 Genre Folk - Country

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.
