Fred Eaglesmith - Jericho lyrics

The gravel flies up off the tires The gravel flies up off the tires Last night I caught my baby lying She said that she loved me Said she'd be true I turned around and she had found somebody new I coulda took it I woulda tried But hey, she wouldn't even tell me why And there ain't no easy road It doesn't matter who you are or who you know Listen son There's just one thing I know There ain't no easy road I couldn't believe my very eyes Out on the street with some other guy I made the scene The coppers came Threw me in jail I told 'em I was not to blame They called my sister To pull my bail She just said "Mister, I would hope that you would know by now" And there ain't no easy road It doesn't matter who you are or who you know Listen son There's just one thing I know There ain't no easy road The whistle wails The train rolls on I guess I'll go back to where I come from To where my Daddy sits On a little porch On a little farm In a little town That they call Jerico He always told me Son, you should know The walls always tumble down Just when you're sure that they won't And there ain't no easy road Doesn't matter who you are or who you know Listen son There's just one thing I know There ain't no easy road Listen son There's just one thing I know There ain't no easy road
