Truckstop Souvenir: Music

This Dusty Road

(Truckstop Souvenir)
Lauryn Shapter
I’ve heard that the streets of heaven
Are paved with bricks of gold
I don’t know if it’s true or not
Or just a story we’ve all been told
To make this life seem easier
With its sorrows and its woes
And the passing a little bit brighter
When it’s drawing to a close

Chorus:
Well I ain’t never seen a street of gold
But I know when my time is through
I’m sure gonna miss this dusty road
That leads me home to you

When this weary life is over
Up on God’s celestial shore
The pain and sadness of earthly trials
Won’t trouble us no more
But this rough and rugged mortal road
Gave birth to all these tears
That watered the landscape of my life
And cleansed my soul through the years

Chorus

Ain’t sure if I’m gonna pass the test
When it comes my judgment day
I reckon I’ve done the best I could
I’m still trying to find my way
But when my soul takes leave of this body
Even if I’m glory bound
I’m gonna miss this beautiful, sad old world
And the love with you that I’ve found

Chorus
