Down That Dusty 3'rd World Road - D-A-D

Heart and clock slows down…

And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound

On a diet of water and thick air

I inhale the heat and exhale my share

Barometer’s climbin' up their scales

Heat shimmers and the horisont sails…

I wouldn’t know 'bout the governments policy

But the waterhole-water looks like coffee!

Time stopped’n’heart slowed

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down-down-down that dusty road

Down-down-down that dusty road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

A full 20 miles wide.

Lies glowin' pebbles’n’nothing beside…

And man starts to boil

Can’t help being born above a lake of oil

The distant battles don’t shoot blanks

— Soon it’s goodbye’n’many tanks

The long shadow used to read like poetry

— Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee!

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down-down-down that dusty road

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down-down-down that dusty road

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down-down-down that dusty road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road

— Walkin' thick soled

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road

Yeah!

Down!

To the road turns to sand…
