Gravel On The Ground Lyrics - John Denver

If our lives could lie before us like a straight and narrow highway 

So that we could see forever, long before we took the ride 

We would never look to heaven, make a wish or climb a mountain 

'Cause we'd always know the answer what's on the other side 

But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground 

You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around 

Tho' we all have destinations, and the dust will settle down 

This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground 

So let's walk the road together 

Who knows what we'll find tomorrow 

Maybe good times, maybe sorrow will be waitin' round the bend 

Given time, two hearts discover what they're feelin' for each other 

At the best we'll end up lovers, at the least we'll make a friend

But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground 

You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around 

Tho' we all have destinations, and the dust will settle down 

But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground 

You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around 

Tho' we all have destinations, and the dust will settle down 

This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
