Willy Porter Loose Gravel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a dollar from my dad

From workin' in the yard

Now I'm standin' on the pedals

My spokes are singin' from the cards

You know I'm gonna get some ice cream

Flyin' down the hill

I gotta make the green light

If I push it hard I will

[Chorus]
But you know loose gravel on the road

Sometimes it doesn't show

This is my chance to take

[Verse 2]
An' there's a window full of faces

Inside the Tastee Freeze

I know I should be slowin' down, slowin' down

But instead I'm gainin' speed

I'm gonna leave a big skid mark

Halfway down the street

The red-haired punk on the silver Schwinn

Man, they'll remember me

[Chorus]
But you know loose gravel on the road

Sometimes it doesn't show

This is my chance to take, Yeaaaaah
Loose gravel on the road

Sometimes ya gotta go

This is my chance to take

[Bridge 1]
I thought I had a coaster brake

Yeah I thought I had coaster brake

[Instrumental]

[Bridge 2]
Now I'm ridin' through my hometown

I just can't believe

How much this place has changed

They tore down the Tastee Freeze

I see a dirty-face kid

Where the driveway meets the road

As I helped him up a-with his bike

I saw Cecil Cooper in his spokes

[Chorus]
And the kid says loose gravel on the road

Sometimes it doesn't show

This is my chance to take, Yeahhhhh

Loose gravel on the road

Sometimes man ya gotta go, go, go, go

This is my chance to take

[Outro]
Next time, I'll keep my foot off the brake

Man, next time, I'll keep my of the brake
