Down That Dusty Trail

When I was a young boy
 The only things that really mattered were
 Making friends and having fun
 Walkin' down the railroad track
 'Til you reached the river
 Turn around and head on back
 When the day is done
 Chorus
 Ain't it like they always say
 Everybody goes their own way
 Nobody knows no one can tell
 It's always been the same for me
 Guess it's just the way it must be
 Headin' down that dusty trail
 When I was a young man
 The only things
 that got me goin' were
 Gettin' high and chasm' love
 Lyin' down beside my girl
 On the banks of the river
 With nothin' but some mustang wine
 And all the stars above
 It's a twistin' turnin' windin' road
 I get lost and broken down
 I'm a stumbler and it won't be long
 'Till stumble back around
 Since I became my own man
 Everything that matters to me is
 Making sure I'm staying true
 To my friends and the ones I love
 'Till cross that river
 All alone I'm movin' on Until my time is through
