Jericho Tab

Lyrics copied from Kent Archibald

                            
The gravel flies, up off the tires
                             
Last night I caught,  my baby lyin'
                                         
She said that she loved me, said she'd be true
                           
I turned around and she had found somebody new
                                
I could have took it, I would've tried
                    
But hey she wouldn't even tell me why


(CHORUS)
                      
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 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)
