Gravel Roads

(album: If An Angel Came To See You, Would You Make Her Feel At Home? - 1972)

Early one morning, the sunshine was on the farm...
Pa drove home a new pickup truck, and, heh, it shined just like a charm
Told me, "On them gravel roads, son, don't you drive none too fast...
May seem smooth at first, but the truck won't never last."

Been on a million gravel roads
Carrying a heavy load
But we'll turn on our bright lights
For to see through the night

'Ey, driving fast on a gravel road
Could shake a new truck to pieces
And life is like that gravel road
The shaking always increases

Been shaking our axes around
'Til they rattle a crazy sound
But we don't mind being grounded down
By this scrub board bumpy ground

Been on a million gravel roads
Carrying a heavy load
But we'll turn on our bright lights
For to see through the night

Been on a million gravel roads
Carrying a heavy load
But we'll turn on our bright lights
For to see through the night

We've been on
One million
Gravel roads
Heavy load
Heavy load
Heavy load

We been on
One million
Gravel roads
Heavy load

Been on a million gravel roads
Carrying a heavy load
But we'll turn on our bright lights
For to see through the night

Been on a million gravel roads
Carrying a heavy load
But we'll turn on our bright lights
For to see through the night

Been on a million gravel roads
Carrying a heavy load
But we'll turn on our bright lights...
