Gear And Dust, Jason Boland And The Stragglers
Truckstop Diaries-2001
Intro
Verse 1
I Left Home The Day I Turned Eighteen
And Mama Begged Me Not To Go
I Left Her Crying On The Front Porch
And Then The Road Became My Home
I Found A Way To Make Some Money Fast
A Night In A Hotel’s All I Need
I’d Read The Bible And Talk To Jesus
Every Night While I Cooked Speed
Chorus
Gear And Dust Turns New To Rust
I Can’t Trust The People That I Meet
Yeah Making Gear And Dust
I Hardly Ever Get To Sleep
Verse 2
Deals Were Easy At The Truckstops
And The Dancehalls Were The Same
Lord I Knew It Wasn't Honest
But I Kept On Playing Franklin's Game
I Saved Some Money And Started Thinking
I Might Head Down To The Coast
Quit All This Over Shoulder Looking
And Try My Luck Out On A Boat
Chorus
Gear And Dust Turns New To Rust
I Can’t Trust The People That I Meet
Yeah Making Gear And Dust
I Hardly Ever Get To Sleep
Verse 3
I Met A Drifter On The Highway
I Had Less Cash Than He Had Hate
Left Me Lying In A Bar Ditch
Somewhere Beside The Interstate
When You're Dead It's Not Really Over
Some Say They've Even Seen My Ghost
At A Roadside Up In Guthrie
Lord Knows That's Where I Sold The Most
Chorus
Gear And Dust Turns New To Rust
I Can’t Trust The People That I Meet
Yeah Making Gear And Dust
I Hardly Ever Get To Sleep
Outro
Yea Making Gear And Dust They Finally
Laid Me Down To Sleep
