The gravel Cflies, up off the Amtires
Last night I Fcaught,  my baby Glyin'
She said that she Cloved me, said she'd be Amtrue
I turned Faround and she had Gfound somebody new
I could have Ctook it, I would've Amtried
But hey she Fwouldn't Geven tell me why
(CHORUS)
And there Amain't no easy Croad
It doesn't Ammatter who you are or who you Cknow
Listen Amson,  there's just Fone   thing I Gknow
There ain't no easy Croad
I couldn't believe, my very eyes
Out on the street with some other guy
I made a scene, the coppers came
Threw me in jail  I told them I was not to blame
They called my sister, took home my van
She just said mister I hoped that you would know by now
(CHORUS)
The whistle wails, the train rolls on
I guess I'll go back to where I come from
To where my Daddy sits, on a little porch
On a little farm in a little town that they call Jericho
He always told me, son you should know
The walls always tumble down
(CHORUS)

C Am

The gravel flies, up off the tires

F G

Last night I caught, my baby lyin'

C Am

She said that she loved me, said she'd be true

F G

I turned around and she had found somebody new

C Am

I could have took it, I would've tried

F G

But hey she wouldn't even tell me why

(CHORUS)

Am C

And there ain't no easy road

Am C

It doesn't matter who you are or who you know

Am F G

Listen son, there's just one thing I know

There ain't no easy road

I couldn't believe, my very eyes

Out on the street with some other guy

I made a scene, the coppers came

Threw me in jail I told them I was not to blame

They called my sister, took home my van

She just said mister I hoped that you would know by now

(CHORUS)

The whistle wails, the train rolls on

I guess I'll go back to where I come from

To where my Daddy sits, on a little porch

On a little farm in a little town that they call Jericho

He always told me, son you should know

The walls always tumble down

(CHORUS)
