Dusty Road by Kelsie Kimberlin

“Dusty Road” is an ode to moving on in life, sometimes happily and sometimes wistfully. At some point in our lives, we realize that relationships or circumstances have put us in a rut and we have to break free, often with a certain bitterness that those we loved or depended upon did not carry their load, so we have to carry it ourselves. At the same time, we can look back at those old shadows with a certain mischievous delight, knowing that we were able to find new happiness, and nothing was able to hold us down.

“We are all trying our best to move on from the terrible burdens of the past several years, and Dusty Road is my way of saying that it’s ok to shed some burdens while still carrying those that are important. This video is my first live filming since the pandemic began and we had to shoot it outdoors, simply and with a very small crew in order to ensure the safety of everyone and comply with COVID restrictions. I hope you like it, and please share, like and comment.”

DUSTY ROAD

Walking along
this dusty road
yeah, I’m walking along
but I’m walking along

Walking along
this lonesome road
yeah, I’m walking along
like a rolling stone

Many my friends
couldn’t take this road
so I’m walking along
but I’m walking alone

Many my friends
couldn’t carry the load
so I carry alone
but I’m carrying on

Wishing that you
were here on this road
but I’m walking away
and I’m walking alone

Wishing that you
would help carry the load
but I’m walking along
like a rolling stone

Many my friends
tried to carry the load
but I carry it all
while I’m carrying on

Many my friends
started out on this road
but I’m walking along
and I’m walking alone

Like a rolling stone
yeah, I’m walking alone
like a rolling stone
yeah, I’m walking along
