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 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 to spread some dust around Tho' 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 to spread some dust around Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground
