lyrics

We’re a murder of crows on a wire, high above a lonesome road
We see the world from up on high, yeah and we’ve seen it all
We’ve seen them rise, we’ve seen them fall
Seen them come and go
And when the rock is rolled away
There’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

See, once this road was a highway runnin’ from city to town
Day and night the road trains came thunderin’ down
But times got tough, the money dried up
They couldn’t pay back the banker’s loan
Now that mighty highway
Is nothin’ but gravel and bone

Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

Oh, don’t you cry or shoot us ‘cause we told you so
Oh don't ask why
It’s just the way the wild wind blows

See that man by the side of the road walkin’ with his head hung low?
Seen his kind a million times walkin’ like they’re pushin’ a stone
He’s seen his share of deals gone bad and love gone wrong
And in that hole where his heart once was
There’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone
