Down by the creek with a cane pole in his hand
Young Dustin knew the secrets of the bottom land
Always out hunting before the sun could rise
Living out a wild country boy's paradise
He had his own boat
floating on the bayou
Sixteen arrived with a beat-up pickup truck
Just enough rust and a whole lot of luck
At Orange Grove School he'd watch the clock turn round
Dreaming of the woods outside of town
Oh Dustin, always looking for a brand new road
From the Southern pines to where the oil wells flowed (yeah)
Then he packed his bags and moved to East Texas clay
Working in the oilfield,
earning his daily pay
Up to New Mexico,
in the mountain air
With a steady aim,
he brought down a bear
Took a flight to Florida,
flying all alone
Far away from the places he had known
Met two pretty girls on that sunny sand
Just a boy making moves across the land (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, Dustin's wild ride
