Gravel Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Gravel Lyrics

    I heard the sound of your bike
    as your wheels hit the gravel
    and your engine in the driveway, cutting off
    I pushed through the screen door
    and I stood out on the porch
    thinking fight, fight, fight, at all costs

    But instead I let you in
    just like I've always done
    I sat you down and offered you a beer
    and across the kitchen table
    I fired several rounds
    but you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared

    You came crawling back to say
    that you want to make good in the end
    oh, let me count the ways that I abhore you
    you were never a good lay
    and you never were a good friend
    but oh, what can I say, I adore you

    All I need is my leather
    one t-shirt and two socks
    I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
    and you can use the engine blocks
    we'll ride out to California
    with my arms around your chest
    and i'll pretend this is real
    cuz this is what I like best

    You've been juggling two women
    like a stupid circus clown
    telling both we are the one
    and maybe you can keep me
    from ever being happy
    but you're not going to stop me
    from having fun

    So let's go, before I change my mind
    I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind
    cuz I am bigger than everything that came before
    you were never very kind
    and you let me way down every time
    but oh, what can I say, I adore you
