Words and music by Matt Phillips

lyrics

That girl with the long dark hair

She done tied me to a chair

She cut the rope and sent the boy out on his way

And when that rope it hit the ground

It tied the knot on this little town

She cut the rope and sent the boy out on his way

‘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
