Lyrics - Raised On A Gravel Road
(Verse)
I was raised on a gravel road
Twenty two miles from the picture show
I learned to fish and wish upon the stars
And Daddy sang "Hank" when he drank a few
From Jambaly to the Lovesick blues
He taught me life with a country point of view
(Chorus)
Somehow now that gravel road
Seems distant in my dreams
A simple way of life just can't be found
I rush to work on cluttered streets
The city's got another beat to learn
Well I guess I've done alright
And who knows I just might
Be headed home tonight
(Inst)
(Verse)
Didn't like school didn't like the plan
To marry young be a family man
So I hit the road ten long years ago
City's got jobs well there ain't no doubt
Too many thing I can deal without
The crooks, the crime the traffic and the noise
(Chorus)
Somehow now that gravel road
Seems distant in my dreams
A simple way of life just can't be found
I rush to work on cluttered streets
The city's got another beat to learn
Well I guess I've done alright
And who knows I just might
Be headed home tonight
(INST)
(Chorus)
Somehow now that gravel road
Seems distant in my dreams
A simple way of life just can't be found
I rush to work on cluttered streets
The city's got another beat to learn
Well I guess I've done alright
And who knows I just might
Be headed home tonight
