Down That Dusty 3'rd World Road Lyrics

Heart and clock slows down...
And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound
On a diet of water and thick air
I inhale the heat and exhale my share
Barometer's climbin' up their scales
Heat shimmers and the horisont sails...
I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy
But the waterhole-water looks like coffee!
Time stopped'n'heart slowed
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road

A full 20 miles wide..
Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside...
And man starts to boil
Can't help being born above a lake of oil
The distant battles don't shoot blanks
- Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks
The long shadow used to read like poetry
- Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee!
Time stopped'n'hearts slowed
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
- Walkin' thick-soled...
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Yeah! Down!!
To the road turns to sand...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
