Across the Dusty Road

[Verse] Granddaddy's farm was our piece of land, Built with calloused hands and a dream unplanned, But the rain gave out and the crops turned dry, Now we’re trading sweat for every dollar, by and by. [Verse 2] Mama's worn thin from the long night shifts, Cooking three square meals from a bag of thrift, Kids grow fast but the days inch slow, Hard times chase us, but we won't let go. [Chorus] Across the dusty road, where troubles lie, We hold on to each other, under the open sky, With a heart full of love and a pocket of hope, We face these hardships and find a way to cope. [Verse 3] Brother took a job at the factory grounds, Counting every penny, just to keep us sound, The roof's got leaks but it keeps us warm, Through the rumbles and the rain, we weather the storm. [Verse 4] Sundays we gather around Grandma's song, Her voice a beacon, helps us carry on, She tells of days when Grandpa was strong, Their love a testament to where we belong. [Chorus] Across the dusty road, where troubles lie, We hold on to each other, under the open sky, With a heart full of love and a pocket of hope, We face these hardships and find a way to cope.
