Lyrics

GRAVEL ROAD BLUES


Stuck out on this gravel road, got trouble on my mind 2x
I’m walking in a straight line trying to leave it all behind.

Nothing on this gravel road but memories and dust 2x
No one to confide in, no one I can trust.

My nerves they feel like steel but they're beginning to corrode 2x
My back is about to break, holding this heavy load.

On the rainy side of gravel road, I’m knee deep in the mud 2x
Only one thing that can save me, the Savior's blood.

The sunny side of gravel road, a fiestas taking place 2x
The bride is out to get me, I’m too afraid to show my face.

Shake shake mama, mama shake, shake your tambourine 2x
Shake it for the saints and shake it for the Nazarene.

Down further in the distance, I can see a street of gold 2x
So smooth and bright and shiny, nothing like this gravel road.

There’s a day a coming I’ll have myself a new postcode 2x
Far away from earthly troubles, far away from gravel road.
