Echoes in the Dust Lyrics

I came back to the place where the highway bends

Where the dreams ran fast and the roads had no end

Footprints in the gravel faded and worn

Left by the ones who left before the dawn

Now there's echoes in the dust calling out my name

Ghosts of the past in the fields and the plains

Whispers of who I was and who I thought I'd be

Just echoes in the dust chasing after me

The old bar's still there with the neon sign

Where we swore we'd be legends given enough time

But those lights are dimmer like a worn-out prayer

I'm left with the shadows of what was there

Now there's echoes in the dust calling out my name

Ghosts of the past in the fields and the plains

Whispers of who I was and who I thought I'd be

Just echoes in the dust chasing after me

It's not the road I'd choose again

But it's the one that made me who I am

Every step every scar a part of the plan

I hear them calling but I won't look back

The faces I loved now faded and gone

Left their mark like shadows at dawn

And all the things I wanted like sand in my hand

Slip through my fingers but here I still stand

Now there's echoes in the dust calling out my name

Ghosts of the past in the fields and the plains

Whispers of who I was and who I thought I'd be

Just echoes in the dust chasing after me

The road's grown quiet but I hear it clear

The voices of dreams that brought me here

They're part of me now like a soft steady hum—

Echoes in the dust of the road I've run
