Hot Dusty Roads (Chris Hillman/Peter Knobler)


Partners in crime, conveyors of mime
Long lost lovers in time
Can I steal you blind, can I make you all mine
Love you till the moon has lost its shine

Take me down those hot dusty roads
Yellow moon makin' me feel so old
And the clouds runnin' silver and gold
I'm runnin' too scared to know
that I'm goin' down slow

Stay by my side
Be my friend and my guide
Make me feel glad I'm alive
And cold are the rains
I'm too tired to remain
a victim of circumstance again

Take me down those hot dusty roads
Yellow moon makin' me feel so old
And the clouds runnin' silver and gold
I'm runnin' too scared to know
that I'm goin' down slow

Going down slow

Like a man on the run
Livin' under the gun
My story never begun
All my dreams and desires
set this poor heart on fire
Drivin' me down to the wire

Take me down those hot dusty roads
Yellow moon makin' me feel so old
And the clouds runnin' silver and gold
I'm runnin' too scared to know
that I'm goin' down slow

Going down slow

Take me down those hot dusty roads
Yellow moon makin' me feel so old
And the clouds runnin' silver and gold
I'm runnin' too scared to know
that I'm goin' down slow

Going down slow

Going down 
Going down 
Going down
Going down slow
Going down
Going down
