🎵 “Where the Dust Still Knows My Name”

[Verse 1]
I took the long road past the old pine gate
Where the fields still dance and the memories wait
Got a map in my glovebox, but I drive by feel
Chasin’ ghosts in the gravel and truth on the wheels

[Verse 2]
There’s a cabin up yonder that don’t look the same
And the lake don’t shimmer like it did in the rain
But I still hear her laughter floatin’ down the lane
Like a whisper in the wind, soft and untamed

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m a drifter in boots and a heart full of flame
Lookin’ for somethin’ that don’t have a name
Every mile I ride, every star I claim
This country road still knows my pain
And the dust still knows my name

[Verse 3]
Momma said, “Boy, don’t lose your way”
But I left my shadow back in Santa Fe
Now the bar signs flicker like a haunted hymn
And the jukebox plays our song again

[Bridge]
Maybe love’s a place, not a face or a town
Maybe peace is just the silence when the sun goes down
But I keep drivin’, with the radio low
And a prayer for the ones I had to let go

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m a drifter in boots and a heart full of flame
Lookin’ for somethin’ that don’t have a name
Every mile I ride, every star I claim
This country road still knows my pain
And the dust still knows my name

[Outro]
So if you find me where the fences bend
Know I’m not lost — I’m just chasin’ the wind
With a memory to burn and a sky to tame
And the dust still knows my name…
