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