Four months ago in April on a day coach she came down
(And the dusty autumn winds began to blow)
I should'a known I couldn't holder her Living out so far from town
(And the nights to come are long and slow to go)

Well now she's up and left me, went walking down the line
(And the dusty autumn winds began to blow)
All dressed up in red velvet and her high-heeled shoes so fine
(And the nights to come are long and slow to go)

Well, if I'd only known
Before we kissed,
You can't keep red velvet
On a poor dirt farm like this

So now she's gone and left me, went walking down the line
(And the dusty autumn winds began to blow)

[break]

Well, I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
(And the dusty autumn winds began to blow)
Then I'll call my dog and I'll take my truck and I'll drive on into town
('Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go)

Well, I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
(And the dusty autumn winds began to blow)
Then I'll call my dog and I'll take my truck and I'll drive on into town
('Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go)

And those dusty autumn winds
Begin to blow
