Tribute to a friend named Dusty Rhodes

lyrics

Out in the country where I feel alive
Down county roads that I love to drive
Dust clouds billow high in the sky
See them far away up where the magpies fly

There’s been no rain and the fields are dry
The sun so hot those crops wither and die
Riding a Harley there’s an easy smile
The road stretches on for a country mile

Dusty Roads I still see you there
Not in a hurry and going nowhere
No destination and you don’t care
Just carry that load, Dusty Roads

Back in the city there lives a man
Worked in the theatre as a lead stage hand
Behind the scenes had the time of his life
Met a pretty singer who became his wife

She had a smile that would make him melt
And he could growl when that's how he felt
An honest working man deserves an ode
Everybody knew him as Dusty Rhodes

Dusty Rhodes I still see you there
Not in a hurry and going nowhere
No destination and you don’t care
Just carry that load, Dusty Rhodes

Then a young man appeared on the scene
Bursting with talent all tall and lean
Playing piano like he’s in a trance
Those flying fingers made the people dance

Papa would listen all full of pride
Maman la chanteuse singing at his side
A man of his word, an honour to know
Husband, friend, father, brother Dusty Rhodes

Off in the corner stands an electric grand
The man sits down with his magic hands
It's just a dusty old Fender Rhodes
It comes alive with melody and modes

Dusty Roads, Dusty Rhodes, Dusty Rhodes
He’s a legend, not forgotten, still loved
