[Prelude]
Here we go
(Comin' at ya)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tell everyone that I am sorry, truly sorry
For all of the wrongs I done
I never meant to hurt nobody, no
Lord, I never want to do no wrong

[Chorus]
But I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship won't be coming in
As I lay me down to take my rest
I see that it's just dust in the wind

[Verse 2]
Take hold my hand, hold it tighter, ever tighter
You must believe that I love you still
But my strength, it grows weaker, ever weaker
And my body has lost it's will

[Chorus]
Now I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship won't be coming in
As I lay me down to take my rest
I see that it's just dust in the wind
[Guitar Solo: Rick Derringer]

[Tenor Saxophone Solo: Mike Brecker]

[Bridge]
Oh, my Lord, I have lost once again
And I got no one to help me find my way
But I never wanted to hurt nobody
And I never wanted to do no wrong

[Chorus]
I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship won't be coming in
As I lay me down to take my rest
I see that it's just dust in the wind

[Outro]
Dust in the wind, mama
