C Am
The gravel flies, up off the tires
F G
Last night I caught, my baby lyin'
C Am
She said that she loved me, said she'd be true
F G
I turned around and she had found somebody new
C Am
I could have took it, I would've tried
F G
But hey she wouldn't even tell me why
(CHORUS)
Am C
And there ain't no easy road
Am C
It doesn't matter who you are or who you know
Am F G
Listen son, there's just one thing I know
C
There ain't no easy road
I couldn't believe, my very eyes
Out on the street with some other guy
I made a scene, the coppers came
Threw me in jail I told them I was not to blame
They called my sister, took home my van
She just said mister I hoped that you would know by now
(CHORUS)
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 Jericho
He always told me, son you should know
The walls always tumble down
(CHORUS)
