Gravel

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 there
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 you 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
'Cause 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 lies behind
'Cause 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...
