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



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

But we all have destinations

And the dust will settle down

This life ain't no easy freeway

Just some gravel on the ground



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



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

But we all have destinations

And the dust will settle down

This life ain't no easy freeway

Just some gravel on the ground
