That Ole Gravel Road Was Easy Street Lyrics - Oak Ridge Boys

When I was eight years old 

I tried to leave the farm 

I flew a homemade plane 

Out of the loft of the barn 

If I could go back now 

You couldn't pay me to leave 

'Cause that old gravel road was easy street 

We were a four-dog family 

With some dreams and a flat-bed truck 

That ole school bus would rattle and shake 

When it would pick us up 

Those creek bank rocks 

Were hard on our feet 

But that ole gravel road was easy street

That ole gravel road was easy street 

They used to say we were poor 

But we were rich as we could be 

We were down on our luck 

But we were up to our necks in homemade love 

That ole gravel road was easy street 

Photos 

I thought having it made 

Was growing up 

Movin' off to town, getting' married 

And going to work 

But those sidewalks 

Ain't all they're cracked up to be 

That ole gravel road was easy street
