Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee steam and a quiet porch
Same old swing, a brand new dawn
Neighbor waves from a dusty Ford
Dog just yawns and carries on
Bills in a stack on the kitchen shelf
Names in frames on the hallway wall
Some days you feel ten feet tall
Some days you barely feel yourself
[Chorus]
Life ain't a straight line, it's a gravel road
Full of busted plans and heavy loads
Sunday dresses, Friday fights
Empty gas tanks, starry nights
We get a little lost, then we get found
Laughing on the way to higher ground
Yeah, it hurts, yeah, it’s rare
Gravel roads and silver hair
[Verse 2]
First goodbye at a high school gate
She cried hard, he tried to joke
Plans they wrote on a paper plate
Washed away like summer smoke
Wedding rings and a second shift
Tiny hands grabbing daddy's thumb
You blink twice and they’re all grown up
You blink again, you’re where you’re from
[Chorus]
Life ain't a straight line, it's a gravel road
Full of busted plans and heavy loads
Sunday dresses, Friday fights
Empty gas tanks, starry nights
We get a little lost, then we get found
Laughing on the way to higher ground
Yeah, it hurts, yeah, it’s rare
Gravel roads and silver hair
[Bridge]
All those “never”s turning into “used to”
All those “someday”s scattered in the rearview
Still we keep driving, windows down, hearts bare
Singing with the wind like a simple prayer
[Chorus]
Life ain't a straight line, it's a gravel road
Full of busted plans and heavy loads
Sunday dresses, Friday fights
Empty gas tanks, starry nights
We get a little lost, then we get found
Laughing on the way to higher ground
Take the hurt, take the care
Gravel roads and silver hair
