Dust On The Dashboard

Verse 1

Well, this dusty old road, it seems the only friend I had

And this old Chevy wagon's seen me good and seen me bad

Ain't no money in my pocket, got no message on the dial

Got this picture on the dashboard, honey, drives me every mile

Chorus

And I ain't sure just how you got that

But I never could forget you

Well, I see dust on the dashboard and a ring around my cup

And I can still feel your hands all over me

And I can still hear the words that wake me up

Verse 2

You remember, baby, that night down in Atlantic City?

You came walking up the boardwalk lookin' so damn pretty

I was standin' in the shadows, you were standin' in the light

I said, "I've never seen your kind before, but I think I might tonight"

Verse 3

Well, I asked you for a dance and you said, "Sure, for a price

It's gonna take a man like you to get a girl like me at night"

You slipped off your red high heels and threw 'em on the sand

And for a couple dollars, you became a poor boy's promised land

Chorus

And I ain't sure just how you got that

But I never could forget you

And now there's dust on the dashboard and a ring around my cup

And I can still feel your hands all over me

And I can still hear the words that wake me up

Bridge

In the cold, cruel heat of that old hotel room

I felt like a caged animal, baby, howling at the moon

Well, we made some noises that would make the devil cry

You said, "There ain't no way for you to leave me, boy, without a goodbye"

Verse 4

Well, you stood there up against the wall, lookin' like a queen

The sweetest, toughest woman that I've ever ever seen

"It's over now," you told me as you let your hair fall down

"Baby, I got a train to catch and it just pulled into town"

Verse 5

You came back a few more times, I kept your memory clean

Then you vanished like a phantom from some old forgotten dream

Now the highway's all I have and this wagon's all I own

Well, I don't need a compass, baby, your picture guides me home

Chorus

And I don't know just how you got that

But I guess I'll never forget you

'Cause there's dust on the dashboard and a ring around my cup

And I can still feel your hands all over me

And I still hear those words that wake me up

And I can still feel your hands all over me

And I can still hear the words that wake me up
