Dust Me Down

No matter how hard you go down, I'm goin' down with you

No matter how hard you get caught, I got to get with you

Now, I'm up here

Feelin' like a mule in a one-horse town

Honey, I ain't askin' you to trust me

I just wish you'd come here and dust me down

I've got three women breathin' down my neck

Well, one take my text, and the other take my check

But the third is (but the third is) makin' me a nervous wreck (nervous wreck)

She got the nerve to demand some respect (respect)

You could come straight out and bust me

But I was hopin' you'd come and dust me down

Well, that, they can't hide what the day we deal

I'm workin' hard to not look like I feel

Last night is hangin' off me

The way deep perfume sticks around

You said, "It's gettin' late, and it must be time

For you to come and dust me down"

Now, my get-up ain't forehead, better do just that

You're like a bird in a cage, I'm like a rat in a trap

I'm not used to flyin' this low to the ground

I'm tired and I'm rusty

So, come on over here and dust me down

Dust me down

Well, I'm the son of a mother, and her mother had a son

She was the child of another son of a gun

You can't keep news like this

From spreadin' all through the town

You said it, "But it went right past me, now I'm hopin' that

You'll ask me to dust you down, dust you down"
