‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
John Henry down the road
You know that he has paid his toll
And his hammer set the steak into the ground
Well that old tractor on the lawn
With the rust where blue paint has gone
Has kicked us down the road to find our way
‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
I kiss my momma’s fears goodbye,
I leave the greener grass behind me
And I set off with my baby by my side
Well concrete or marble slab,
We’ve run our 18 laps
And now we can kick off down the road to find our way
‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
I kiss my momma’s fears goodbye,
I leave the greener grass behind me
And I set off with my baby by my side
Well concrete or marble slab,
We’ve run our 18 laps
And now we can kick off down the road to find our way
‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
