Gravel by Ani DiFranco

Ah
Ah
Aha
Uuh

I heard the sound of your bike
As your wheels hit the gravel
Then your engine in the driveway
Cuttin' off

And I pushed through the screen door
And I stood out on the porch
Thinking fight, fight, fight
At all costs

But instead I let you in
Just like I've always done
I sat you down and offered you a beer
And across the kitchen table
I fired several rounds
But you were still sittin' there and
The smoke cleared

You came crawlin' back
To say that you wanna
Make good in the end
And oh, oh
Let me count the ways
That I abhor you

And you were never a good lay
And you were never a good friend
But oh, oh, what can I say
I adore you
Aah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Aah ah ah ah ah ah ah

All I need is my leather
One T-shirt and two socks
I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
And we can use the engine block

And we'll ride out to California
With my arms around your chest
And I'll pretend that this is real
'Cuz this is what I like best

And you've been jugglin' two women
Like a stupid circus clown
Telling us both we are the one
And maybe you can keep me from ever bein' happy
But you're not gonna stop me from having fun
So let's go before I change my mind
Leave the luggage of all your lives behind
'Cuz I am bigger than everythin' that came, before

And you were never very kind
And you let me way down every time
But oh, oh what can I say
I adore you
Aah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Aah ah ah ah oh oh oh
Aah ah ah ah oh oh oh
Aah ah ah ah oh oh oh

Heard the sound of your bike
As your wheels hit the gravel
Then your engine in the driveway
Cuttin' off

Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Hey aaa aaa aaa
Hey aaa aaa aaa
Hey hey aaa aaa
