Time To Let Some Dust Settle

Words and Music: David Tatterson and Gary Clute



Verse1

From the Red River to the Rio Grande,

endless sky and wind-swept stage

I’ve scratched a living from this savage land,

running cattle on jimson and sage

I've been a rounder most of my life,

working ranches here and there

Just me and my horse on to the next drive,

a simple life, a simple prayer, now  



Chorus

My grey hairs tell me let some dust settle

About rode out my cowboy melody  

Done my last roundup in this old saddle

Singing a cowboy elegy....

Time to let some dust settle



Verse2

Mornings around the cook fire,

shaking off the night’s cold

In red flannel, denim and chaps’ attire,

shaving my face and sure  lookin' old

Just a cowboy hoping for another day

Breaking horses, shooting coyotes, mending fences,

roping, branding and washing in the creek

All done to meet my meager expenses,

my life played out in cowboy speak



Bridge

Nights in the bunk house, playing cards

'nd drinking with the boys

Never felt the need for a spouse

or any of life’s usual noise

Chorus

My grey hairs tell me let some dust settle

About rode out my cowboy melody  

Done my last roundup in this old saddle

Singing a cowboy elegy....

Time to let some dust settle



Tag

If you think of me, after my life’s ride

Remember how I lived free with no regrets,

nothing but cowboy pride,

Time to let some dust settle

Time To Let Some Dust Settle

ATMOSPHERE 4 (South Caroline) is the new song that D.J. Highlanders presents as the first new song of 2024.
For the first time, in the production of “Atmosphere”, D.J. HIGHLANDERS, complete the title with a subtitle: SOUTH CAROLINE. “To create this song, with my imagination, daydreaming, I imagined being in the heart of this South-Eastern American state, famous for its subtropical beaches, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the marshy islands, the city of Charleston , and its capital Columbia... turning, turning and turning again, the notes have harmoniously compacted in this new musical production, classifiable as a genre: Indie Nex Generation.”

“real” lyrics

(dedicated to all those who have the courage to battle addiction)

i dont know about you boy
where’s your head at? 
where’s ur joy?
where’s  your pride?
and where’s your hope?
where’s your heart at?
i don’t know

all those things you liked to say 
only lived inside your head
look around our real world 
dreams are cool but now destroyed

by you
by you
by you
by you



stay, stay, take a breath, exhale and know that 
you’re ok

stay,stay, break the lie, let those hours pass u by


i dont know about you boy
where’s your head at? 
where’s ur joy?
where’s  your pride?
and where’s your hope?
where’s your heart at?
i don’t know

all those plans you liked to say 
slowly died inside your head
look around this real world 
dreams were cool but now destroyed

by you
by you
by you
by you 


all those parts you liked to play 
only lived inside your head
couldn’t take the real world 
dreams were cool but now destroyed
