Somewhat Dusty Ramblin' Man
©1993 Dakota Sid Clifford


The call of the highway seems faded and distant
The old bus just sits in the yard
Scratched up guitar leans into the corner
Loved, just a little too hard

        And the moonlight falls on the cabin
        Waves roll up on the sand
        Settling down don't come easy
        To a somewhat dusty ramblin' man

One day he just woke up and could not remember
The direction of his shining star
His wanna'be dreams were lost in the lovin'
Of the one he had loved from the start

        And the moonlight falls on the cabin
        He stirs at the touch of her hand
        Settling down don't come easy
        To a somewhat dusty ramblin' man

Instrumental:

From time to time he talks of the old days
He makes it sound rowdy and crazy and wild
As he walks on the back roads like a bum on the run
Holding the hand of a child

        And the moonlight falls on the cabin
        He stirs at the touch of her hand
        Settling down don't come easy
        To a somewhat dusty ramblin' man
