Tracks In The Dust Lyrics

Tracks In The Dust lyrics

by David Crosby







Four of us were having dinner



And I threw down the paper with a curse



And my wife said, Complaining doesn't get it



You got to do something or you can bet it 



Will get worse.







And my friend said, You've been watching



TV too much:and all that hippie hopefulness



Is just a crutch.



But if thinkin' that way helps you



To make it through the night



Then who am I to say what's wrong and right.







But I think, we're passing



Through here kind of fast



Did you think these tracks



In the dust would last.







So you think we should just sit here



And have another glass of wine



While the world goes to hell, which you know damn well



It's going to do just down the line.



And his lady said, I don't know



how can you be so sure, I mean



Some things seem to get better







You know the hero still saves the 



Damsel in distress, the 



Villain doesn't get her



And I said, where have you been living



I mean they're selling death in the streets.



Cheap.



And the lying politicians are rolling



in the profits they reap.



And he said, He's right honey



But I think it's always been that way.



And he smiled kind of patiently,



and I knew he was going to say:







I think, we're passing



Through here kind of fast



Did you think these tracks



In the dust would last.







I think, we're passing



Through here kind of fast



Did you think these tracks



In the dust would last.







I think, we're passing



Through here kind of fast
