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
