Theres many a good man
hiding in the shadows just waiting to give that boy 6 feet of land

Little Robert Dusty hes been
stealing hearts so easily you should hear him when he sings

Double dealing at the

SAME CHORDS AS 1ST
VERSE
Passion be a memory she said
looking at the sheets where he used to lie with her
Holding a picture shes
living again things she felt when he played for her
Little Robert Dusty stole her
heart so easily she could hear him when he sings
Double dealing at the
crossroads him and his guitar they say that somethings been playing them
Feeling down in the
fingertips bold good feeling wooh oh
like you could die for it
Em

And the bird that whistles and
the bird that sings

And the strong strong heart
beating and the stretched out wings that he made

Wont so easily wont so

SAME AS 1ST VERSE
The talk is he still comes
around hey from Mississippi when your road is dark as night
When nothing else gets to
your sadness hes picking up his guitar and hes feeling it right
Little Robert Dusty and they
stole his heart so easily
He was singing all my love in
vain
Killing at the crossroads but
him and his guitar they say
That somethings still playing
them
Repeat chorus
