This is a song about the similarities between life and a bumpy gravel road – and how both of which can “shake us (or a new pickup truck) to pieces.” It is the opening to Black Oak Arkansas' 1972 album, “If an Angel Came to See You, Would You Make Her Feel at Home?”.
Gravel Roads Lyrics
Early one mornin', the sunshine was on the farm...
Pa drove home a new pickup truck, and, heh, it shined just like a charm
Told me, "on them gravel roads, son, don't you drive none too fast...
May seem smooth at first, but the truck won't never last."
Been on a million gravel roads
Carryin' a heavy load
But we'll turn up our bright lights
For to see through the night
'Ey, drivin' fast on a gravel road
Could shake a new truck to pieces
And life is like that gravel road
Just shakin' our ways to pieces
Been shakin' our axes around
'Til they rattle a crazy sound
[?]
[?]
Been on a million gravel roads
Carryin' a heavy load
But we'll turn up our bright lights
For to see through the night
Been on a million gravel roads
Carryin' a heavy load
But we'll turn up our bright lights
For to see through the night
We've been on
One million
Gravel roads
Heavy load
Heavy load
Heavy load
We been on
One million
Gravel roads
Heavy load
Been on a million gravel roads
Carryin' a heavy load
But we'll turn up our bright lights
For to see through the night
Been on a million gravel roads
Carryin' a heavy load
But we'll turn up our bright lights
For to see through the night
Been on a million gravel roads
Carryin' a heavy load
But we'll turn up our bright lights...
