Ani Difranco - Gravel (Rome 11.15.04) 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 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 '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 lies 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
