No More Dust

Verse 1

Two lane road, dust and a sigh

One suitcase, sweet goodbye

Bare feet in the fields, warm July

Wanted wild, wanted free, a prairie sky

Childhood in a jar

Dreams carved in cedar fence

Always promised myself

Pull my boots, worry-less

Pre-Chorus

But neon signs, they whispered

"Come on, shine, you’re different"

Every billboard, every spotlight

Pulled me farther, past midnight

Chorus

But I just wanted to be a cowgirl with no worries

Riding fast, no last names, no old stories

Lassoing the sun as it drops so slow

Now I'm in the world of fame, got nowhere else to go

Post-Chorus

No more dust, no more dawn

Memory drags me along

No more dust, no more dawn

Memory drags me along

Verse 2

You were laughter on a barstool

Late night phone calls, trust so new

Empty promises you’d never fill

Turned my lasso, hopes, into still

Sunset rider, now I'm alone

Your words haunt my hotel rooms

Smoky voice in the static

You left me longing for home

Pre-Chorus

Those city lights, they flicker

But your goodbye comes quicker

Even silver can rust

When you lose what you trust

Chorus

I just wanted to be a cowgirl with no worries

Running wild down a river, tireless, sturdy

Lassoing the sun as it drops so slow

Now I'm in the world of fame, got nowhere else to go

Post-Chorus

No more dust, no more dawn

Memory drags me along

No more dust, no more dawn

Memory drags me along

Bridge

Maybe I

Maybe I

Maybe I should turn around

Try to find that playground

Where dreams were simple, hearts were clear

Where trust was easy and pain disappeared

Chorus

I just wanted to be a cowgirl with no worries

Hoofbeats echoing laughter, safe, unhurried

Lassoing the sun as it drops so slow

Now I'm in the world of fame, I got nowhere else to go

Outro

No more dust

No more dawn

Memory

Drags me along
