Mediterranean Blues

That girl with the long dark hair
 She done tied me to a chair
 She cut the rope and sent the boy out on his way
 And when that rope it hit the ground
 It tied the knot on this little town
 She cut the rope and sent the boy out on his way
 'Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
 John Henry down the road
 You know that he has paid his toll
 And his hammer set the steak into the ground
 Well that old tractor on the lawn
 With the rust where blue paint has gone
 Has kicked us down the road to find our way
 'Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
 I kiss my momma's fears goodbye,
 I leave the greener grass behind me
 And I set off with my baby by my side
 Well concrete or marble slab,
 We've run our 18 laps
 And now we can kick off down the road to find our way
 'Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
 I kiss my momma's fears goodbye,
 I leave the greener grass behind me
 And I set off with my baby by my side
 Well concrete or marble slab,
 We've run our 18 laps
 And now we can kick off down the road to find our way
 'Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today
