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
And 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
And 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

And you came crawling back to say
That you wanna make good in the end
Oh, let me count the ways that I abhore you
And you were never a good lay

And you were never were a good friend
But oh, 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
'Cause this is what I like best
You've been juggling two women
Like a stupid circus clown
Telling us both we are the one

And maybe you can keep me
From ever being happy
But you're not gonna stop me
From having fun

So let's go, before I change my mind
I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind
'Cause I am bigger than everything that came before
You were never very kind

And you let me way down every time
But oh, oh what can I say, I adore you

I heard the sound of your bike
As your wheels hit the gravel
And your engine in the driveway, cutting off
