High Weeds and Rust

by Doug Stone

Lyrics
There's a shutter hangin' on the window pane
And the paint is crackin' from the sun and the rain
But I don't care 'cause I'm all alone
When my woman done left me in a broken home

And high weeds and rust up around my truck
With a broken heart and an inch of dust
I've seen it all, boom turned to bust
And I'm about to drown in high weeds and rust

There's a tractor sittin' in an empty field
I said I wouldn't do nothin' 'til my heart had healed
And I know I need to get her off my mind
'Cause when the bank comes lookin' for me, I ain't gonna find

It's high weeds and rust up around my truck
With a broken heart and an inch of dust
I've seen it all, boom turned to bust
And I'm about to drown in high weeds and rust

Well, a blackbird's sittin' on the telephone line
Watchin' me lay my wasted time
I never thought I could sink so low
I never thought I'd just let it go

High weeds and rust up around my truck
With a broken heart and an inch of dust
I've seen it all, boom turned to bust
And I'm about to drown in high weeds and rust
Yeah, I'm about to drown in high weeds and rust

High weeds and rust up around my truck
With a broken heart and an inch of dust
High weeds and rust, high weeds and rust
And a broken heart as you remember
