Gravel On The Ground Lyrics by Mac Davis

It’s Hard to Be Humble

1980

[Verse 1]
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 to what's on the other side
[Chorus]
But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
You pay for every mile you go and you spread some dust around
Though we all have destinations and the dust will settle down
This lifе ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on thе ground
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
You pay for every mile you go and you spread some dust around
Though 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 and you spread some dust around
Though we all have destinations and the dust will settle down
This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
You pay for every mile you go and you spread some dust around
Though we all have destinations...
