Blue Highway - In The Gravel Yard lyrics

rate me

In the gravel yard, with a number for my name

Making little rocks out of big rocks all day

Oh, the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard I'll never

be a free man, so they say

Warden hear my plea, listen now to me

I killed a man that I caught with my wife

You'd probably done the same, so I am not to blame

sentenced to the rest of my life

In the driven rain with a ball and chain

My hammer rings a low mournful sound

It sings a little song for the ones who done me wrong who

lie beneath the cold, cold ground
