Gravel On The Ground

John Denver · Triple Feature [2009]

If our lives could lie before us like a straight and narrow highway

So that we could see forever, long before we took the ride

We would never look to heaven, make a wish or climb a mountain

'Cause we'd always know the answer what's on the other side



But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground

You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around

Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down

This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground



So let's walk the road together who knows what we'll find tomorrow

Maybe good times, maybe sorrow will be waitin' round the bend

Given time, two hearts discover what they're feelin' for each other

At the best we'll end up lovers, at the least we'll make a friend



But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground

You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around

Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down

But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground

You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around

Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down

This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
