[Verse]
C G F
Across the mesa, the daylight shines in your eyes
G
And it makes you blind
C
And in your head
G
Sirens wail
F G
And they just let you
C
Out of jail
 
[Chorus]
G C
You're just dusty now
G
There's flies on you
F
Your guns are rusty
G
And your soul is too
C G
The Texas is wearing off of your leather boots
F G
And you're just dusty
C
There's flies on you
 
[Verse]
C G
And there's tobacco inside your cuffs
F G
And you drink too much, but it's never enough
C G
People stare at you as you stand and cough
F G
Might be the weather
C
Might be the dust
 
[Chorus]
G C
You're just dusty now
G
There's flies on you
F
Your guns are rusty
G
And your soul is too
C G
The Texas is wearing off of your leather boots
F G
And you're just dusty
C
There's flies on you
 
[Bridge]
Bb C
Rain rain rain in a western sky
Bb
Teardrops in your heart
G
And gravel in your eyes
 
[Chorus]
G C
You're just dusty now
G
There's flies on you
F
Your guns are rusty
G
And your soul is too
C G
The Texas is wearing off of your leather boots
F G
And you're just dusty
F G
There's flies on you
F G
You're just dusty
F
There's flies on you
 
[Outro]
