I Walk Barefoot Across the Gravel and I Feel No Pain
I walked barefoot across the gravel and I feel no pain
Souls have grown hard on tough terrain
Give me one more day and I will get you what you need
I don't fall victim to pride, lust or greed
On the Merry-Go-Round of life I just go around
All the same old places, yes I will haunt this town
You had a wild side too tough to tame
And when I walk across the gravel I don't feel the pain
This life is like a labyrinth and I can't get out
Been lost for so long that I don't have no doubt
Just give me till noon and I will get you what you need
It's hard to stop when you're gaining speed
On the ride of life I've rode too long
If you see me getting smaller than soon I will be gone
Thinking you were losing you flipped up the game
When I walk across the gravel I don't feel any pain
There's been many a moon since I've been born
I'm rough-around-the-edges, I'm tattered and torn
Give me one more hour, I will get you what you need
A place to set your bones and rest your feet
If we were all stars I would explode
My shoulders were not built to bare such a load
You never bothered to bare bit of blame
When I walk across the gravel I don't feel any pain
When I leave for work I take your picture off the wall
Why should you hang around when you don't even call
Give me another second and I'll get you what you need
A place to set your bones and rest your feet
When I get back at night you go back up on the wall
So I can look you in the eyes should you choose to call
You left me naked and crying in the rain
Walking barefoot across the gravel not feeling any pain
