Gear and Dust

Gear And Dust By Jason Boland Intro chords DGADAGD D I left home the day I turned eighteen G And mama begged me not to go A I left her crying on the front porch D And then the road became my home D I found a way to make some money fast G GEm# A night in a hotel??s all I need A I??d read the bible and talk to Jesus D Every night While I cooked speed Chorus: G D Bm Gear and dust turns new to rust A D I can??t trust the people that I meet A Yeah making gear and dust D D I hardly ever get to sleep Deals were easy in the truckstops And the dancehalls were the same Lord I knew it wasn??t honest But I kept on playing Franklin??s game I saved some money and started thinking That I might head down to the coast Quit all this over-shoulder looking And try my luck out on a boat Chorus Lead I met a drifter on the highway I had less cash than he had hate He left me lying in a bar ditch Somewhere beside the interstate When you??re dead it??s not really over Some say they??ve even seen my ghost At a roadside up in Guthrie Lord knows that??s where I sold the most Chorus Making gear and dust They finally laid me down to sleep
