Long Ol` Dusty Road Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



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
