Across the mesa, the daylight shines in your eyes

And it makes you blind

And in your head sirens wail

They just let you out of jail

You're just dusty now

There's flies on you

Your guns are rusty

And your soul is, too

The Texas is wearing off of your leather boots

And you're just dusty

There's flies on you

And there's tobacco inside your cuffs

And you drink too much, but it's never enough

People stare at you as you stand and cough

Might be the weather, might be the dust

You're just dusty now

There's flies on you

Your guns are rusty

And your soul is, too

The Texas is wearing off of your leather boots

And you're just dusty

There's flies on you

Rain rain rain in a western sky

Teardrops in your heart

And gravel in your eyes

And you're just dusty now

There's flies on you

Your guns are rusty

And your soul is, too

The Texas is wearing off of your leather boots

And you're just dusty

There's flies on you

You're just dusty

There's flies on you
