The gravel flies up off the tires

The gravel flies up off the tires

Last night I caught my baby lying

She said that she loved me

Said she'd be true

I turned around and she had found somebody new

I coulda took it

I woulda tried

But hey, she wouldn't even tell me why

And there ain't no easy road

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

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 the scene

The coppers came

Threw me in jail I told 'em I was not to blame

They called my sister

To pull my bail

She just said "Mister, I would hope that you would know by now"

And there ain't no easy road

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

Listen son

There's just one thing I know

There ain't no easy road

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 Jerico

He always told me

Son, you should know

The walls always tumble down

Just when you're sure that they won't

And there ain't no easy road

Doesn't matter who you are or who you know

Listen son

There's just one thing I know

There ain't no easy road

Listen son

There's just one thing I know

There ain't no easy road
