Gravel Road Lyrics

I'm goin' down that gravel, gonna take the right hand road
I'm goin' down that gravel, gonnatake the right hand road
And I ain't gonna stoppin' til my baby's home
that girl I'm lovin' got that great long curly hair
that girl I'm lovin' got that great long curly hair
But her mother and her father sure don't want me there
I got to study some scheme, lord to get my baby back to herself
I got to study some scheme, Lord, to get my baby back to herself
Lord, I love that woman, I don't want nobody else
I looked down that road just as far as I could see
There was a bunch of women, and, they be followin' me
Well, the brook run into the ocean, the ocean run into that deep, deep, deep blue sea
the brook run into the ocean, the river run into that deep, deep, deep blue sea
You ought to seen the women, Lord, they be fishing after me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

the main chorus riff is ripped or inspired by a grateful dead song, I am in the process of trying to remember which song but I think its Easy Wind.
