Raised On A Gravel Road
I was raised on a gravel road
Twenty two miles from the picture show
I learned to fish and wish upon the stars
Daddy sang "Hank" when he drank a few
From "Jambalay" to the "Lovsick 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.)
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
The city's got jobs well there ain't no doubt
Too many things I can do 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
