Poem
I walked barefoot across the gravel and I feel no pain Souls have grown hard on tough terrain Give me one more day and I will get you what you need I don't fall victim to pride, lust or greed On the Merry-Go-Round of life I just go around All the same old places, yes I will haunt this town You had a wild side too tough to tame And when I walk across the gravel I don't feel the pain This life is like a labyrinth and I can't get out Been lost for so long that I don't have no doubt Just give me till noon and I will get you what you need It's hard to stop when you're gaining speed On the ride of life I've rode too long If you see me getting smaller than soon I will be gone Thinking you were losing you flipped up the game When I walk across the gravel I don't feel any pain There's been many a moon since I've been born I'm rough-around-the-edges, I'm tattered and torn Give me one more hour, I will get you what you need A place to set your bones and rest your feet If we were all stars I would explode My shoulders were not built to bare such a load You never bothered to bare bit of blame When I walk across the gravel I don't feel any pain When I leave for work I take your picture off the wall Why should you hang around when you don't even call Give me another second and I'll get you what you need A place to set your bones and rest your feet When I get back at night you go back up on the wall So I can look you in the eyes should you choose to call You left me naked and crying in the rain Walking barefoot across the gravel not feeling any pain
