Gravel On The Road Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it has been released on. 

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 

Mke a wish or climb a mountain 

'cause we'd always know the answer 

To what's on the other side

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But life ain't no easy freeway 

Just some gravel on the road 

You pay for ev'ry mile you go 

And you spraed some dust around 

But we all have destinations 

And the dust will settle down 

This life ain't no easy freeway 

Just some gravel on the road 

So let's walk the road together 

Who knows what we'll find tomorrow 

Maybe good times maybe sorrow 

Both are 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 road 

You pay for ev'ry mile you go 

And you spread some dust around 

But we all have destinations 

And the dust will settle down 

This life ain't no easy freeway 

Just some gravel on the road
