lyrics

Dusty man, there goes my dusty old dusty old man.

He loves my mouth, he loves my hips
Piece of my mind don't make no difference
He don't bow down and don't make plans
He's mean as a snake, he's my dusty man

He say
Love me enough to right my wrongs.
Love me until the scars are gone.

Young man think he seen know everything
My baby's broke in long and lean
More real living than that young boy could stand
You take a young boy, I keep my dusty old man

I say
Love me enough to right my wrongs.
Love me until the scars are gone.

Dusty man, here come my dusty old dusty old man.

Calloused hand and tear stained heart
The world can't won't hand you what you want
Sometimes all you can do is say goddam
Give your love to your dusty old man

Singing
Love me enough to right my wrongs.
Love me until the scars are gone.
