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
