Gravel Lyrics - Living In Clip (live) - Ani Difranco

I heard the sound of your bike 

As your wheels hit the gravel 

And your engine in the driveway, cutting off 

I pushed through the screen door 

And I stood out on the porch 

Thinking fight, fight, fight, at all costs 

But instead I let you in 

Just like I've always done 

I sat you down and offered you a beer 

And across the kitchen table 

I fired several rounds 

But you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared 

You came crawling back to say 

That you want to make good in the end 

Oh, let me count the ways that I abhore you 

You were never a good lay 

And you never were a good friend 

But oh, what can I say, I adore you 

All I need is my leather 

One t-shirt and two socks 

I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets 

And you can use the engine blocks 

We'll ride out to California 

With my arms around your chest 

And I'll pretend this is real 

'cause this is what I like best 

You've been juggling two women 

Like a stupid circus clown 

Telling us both we are the one 

And maybe you can keep me 

From ever being happy 

But you're not going to stop me 

From having fun 

So let's go, before I change my mind 

I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind 

'cause I am bigger than everything that came before 

You were never very kind 

And you let me way down every time 

But oh, what can I say, I adore you
