Little bit of dirt mixed with tears
The telephone poles trees and wires fly on by
Car wheels on a gravel road
Low hum of voices in the front seat
Car wheels on a gravel road
Cotton fields stretching miles and miles
Hank's voice on the radio
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Somebody somewhere don't know
Car wheels on a gravel road
Can't find a damn thing in this place
Lookin' out the window
Stories nobody knows
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Broken down shacks engine parts
Set of keys and a dusty suitcase
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
When I get back this room better be picked-up
Come on now child we're gonna go for a ride
Listen to the dogs barkin' in the yard
Got folks in Jackson we're going to meet
There goes the screen door slamming shut
You better do what you're told
Pull the curtains back and look outside
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Child in the backseat about four or five years
Car wheels on a gravel road
Could tell a lie but my heart would know
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Nothing's where I left it before
Car wheels on a gravel road
Smell of coffee eggs and bacon
Car wheels on a gravel road
