Willie Nelson - You Don't Know Me: The Songs Of Cindy Walker (2006) - Dusty Skies lyrics

  • Dusty skies I can't see nothing in sight
    Good old Dan you'll have to guide me right
    For we lose our way the cattle will stray
    And we lose them all tonight
    With all of the grass and water's gone
    We'll have to keep the cattle moving on
    Sand blowing I just can't breathe in this air
    Thought it would soon be clear and fair
    But the dust storms were bad they took all we had
    I've got to be moving somewhere

    I hate to leave the old ranch so bare
    But I've got to be moving somewhere
    So get along doggies we're moving off of this range
    Never thought as how I'd make the change
    But the blue skies have failed we're on our last trail
    Underneath these dusty skies
    These ain't tears in my eyes just sand from these dusty skies
