Kevin Higgins - Gathering Dust lyrics

rate me

The band has quit playin’ and the house lights are on

Pry this drink from my fingers and the good times are gone

There’s a girl in the corner, she’s been waiting all night

For some road-weary gypsy to take her home for a while

I ain’t got it in me… all I got’s this guitar

Yeah, I’ll keep breakin’ strings,

But, I’ve long since quit breakin’ hearts

So, I’ll stick to my guns and keep ridin’

Got my sights set on the one that I love

And I’ll go where the music will take me

All the while gatherin’ dust

A wise man once told me, “Play it straight from the heart…

if you don’t stand for something it will all fall apart.”

Like a lonesome dust devil spinnin’ out of control

Gonna flare up and burn out, that’s just the way that it goes

And I’ll look for a good star in this big Texas sky

There must be a heaven, the road is my angel tonight

And I’ll stick to my guns and keep ridin’

Got my sights set on the one that I love

And I’ll go where the music will take me

All the while gatherin’ dust

The band has quit playin’ and we’ve tore it all down

Take this drink from my fingers, we gotta head out of town
