[Verse 1] Sittin' in the kitchen, a house in Macon Loretta's singing on the radio Smell of coffee, eggs, and bacon Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 2] Pull the curtains back and look outside Somebody somewhere don't know Come on now, child, we're gonna go for a ride Car wheels on a gravel road [Chorus] Car wheels on a gravel road Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 3] Can't find a damn thing in this place Nothing's where I left it before Set of keys and a dusty suitcase Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 4] There goes the screen door slamming shut You better do what you're told When I get back this room better be picked-up Car wheels on a gravel road [Chorus] Car wheels on a gravel road Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 5] Low hum of voices in the front seat Stories nobody knows Got folks in Jackson we're going to meet Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 6] Cotton fields stretching miles and miles Hank's voice on the radio The telephone poles, trees, and wires fly on by Car wheels on a gravel road [Chorus] Car wheels on a gravel road Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 7] Broken down shacks, engine parts Could tell a lie but my heart would know Listen to the dogs barkin' in the yard Car wheels on a gravel road [Verse 8] Child in the backseat about four or five years Lookin' out the window Little bit of dirt mixed with tears Car wheels on a gravel road [Chorus] Car wheels on a gravel road Car wheels on a gravel road Car wheels on a gravel road Car wheels on a gravel road
