Ani Difranco - Gravel lyrics

I heard the sound of your bike,

As your wheels hit the gravel,

Then 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 here

When the smoke cleared.

And you came crawling back

To say that you wanna

Make good in the end

And oh, oh,

Let me count the ways

That I abhor you,

And you were never a good lay

And you were never a good friend

But, oh, oh, what else 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 we can use the engine block,

And we'll ride out to California

With my arms around your chest,

And I'll pretend that this is real

'Cuz this is what I like best,

And 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 lives behind

'Cuz I am bigger than everything that came before

And you were never very kind,

And you let me way down every time

But oh, oh, oh what can I say...

I adore you

I heard the sound of your bike,

As your wheels hit the gravel,

Then your engine in the driveway

Cutting off
