lyrics

what the hell is going on
how long have i been gone
and does anybody know
where my mom is?

dusty pipes weren’t no dancer
his mama took by cancer
daddy thought he found the answer
in riding
cuz when he focused he was good
he’d fly around the neighborhood
at least it kept him out of trouble
and from crying

and well Dusty he got older
hopped off his papas shoulders
and headed out to the track
on his dirtbike
all them other kids were slower
but they all had better motors
well Dusty that ain’t no excuse
that’s just life

and when dusty was a winner
they’d go out for country dinner
at a diner off of the highway
in Ogilvie
but when Dusty let pa down
they’d drive home with silent frowns
both of them knowing what he
had to be

and soon Dusty met a girl
and soon he became her world
and when she came to the races
well she said
boy you’ve got something special
just tone it down a level
you can’t get to where you’re going
if you’re brain dead

but dusty pipes’ time was now
he could win the triple crown
and be the next hotshot in
kentucky
but dusty’s front tire hit one line
and the back tire hit a another line
and well the wreck it sure was
something

dusty pipes was on a lawn
daydreaming what went wrong
while his engine played a song
in a single key
and dusty couldn’t talk
but the men they helped him walk
to the fence line where he stopped
and started seizing

what the hell is going on
how long have i been gone
and does anybody know
where my mom is?
