00:00Dust kicks up like ghosts behind these worn out good years
00:19A cracked leather wheel beneath my hands has been that way for years
00:25Radios have static, but the steel guitar cuts clean
00:31Like the echo of a memory, or the ghost of what has been
00:37Every sign's got paint that's peeling, names that time forgot
00:42But I ain't chasing nothing, I'm just driving what I'm not
00:49These roads don't lead to heaven, and they sure as hell ain't hell
00:55They just twist like old barbed wire, through a land that never tells
01:01Blood orange skies keep bleeding, like the sun don't know it's dusk
01:07Out here time don't run, it limps along in circles in the dust
01:13Yeah, it's circles in the dust
01:16A band in Texaco, with prices frozen 95
01:21I swear I hear the wind singing with the engine still alive
01:27A lonesome hum of thunder, rolls just past the hills
01:34Like it's waiting for a reckoning, or just a place to sit still
01:39A man can lose his shadow, when the world forgets his name
01:46But I got this old truck, this road, and a dashboard picture frame
01:51These roads don't lead to heaven, and they sure as hell ain't hell
01:58They just twist like old barbed wire, through a land that never tells
02:03Blood orange skies keep bleeding, like the sun don't know it's dusk
02:09Out here time don't run, it limps along in circles in the dust
02:16Yeah, it's circles in the dust
02:19A bottle on the passenger seat, half full or half forgot
02:24And a prayer that never made it past the pine trees I once crossed
02:31I'm not run and I'm not lost, I'm just bound to what I trust
02:37The hum of wheels, the storm ahead, in circles in the dust
02:43Slide guitar weeps beneath thunder and wind echoing lonely howls
03:03These roads don't lead to answers, and they damn sure ain't the past
03:13They're lined with ghosts and rusty signs in places built to last
03:19Blood orange skies keep fading, like the smoke behind my rust
03:25Out here I ain't escaping, I'm just circling in the dust
03:31Yeah, just circling in the dust
03:34Keep rolling
03:35Oh friend
03:38Ain't no end
03:41Just circles
03:44In the dust
