[Verse 1] Mama said keep on walking Even when the ground gives way Boots got holes by autumn Still I found my way Past the feed store, past the creek bend Past the rusted sign by the tree Every step got lighter When you started walking with me [Pre-Chorus] On that gravel road I heard mercy call my name On that gravel road You were steady through the rain [Chorus] Gravel road gospel Keep me moving on Gravel road gospel When my strength is gone You were there Right there By the field and the thorn Gravel road gospel Till the break of dawn [Verse 2] Seen hard times in a porch light Seen tears in a supper plate Seen a father pray with shaking hands For the boy who got home late But the house stayed full of kindness And the floorboards learned that song If the world came down around us You taught my feet to carry on [Pre-Chorus] On that gravel road I heard mercy call my name On that gravel road You were steady through the rain [Chorus] Gravel road gospel Keep me moving on Gravel road gospel When my strength is gone You were there Right there By the field and the thorn Gravel road gospel Till the break of dawn [Bridge] I don't need gold streets I don't need a throne Give me that old dirt promise And a hand to bring me home When my knees go weak When the night gets long I'll sing that gravel road gospel And I'll sing it strong [Final Chorus] Gravel road gospel Keep me moving on Gravel road gospel When my strength is gone You were there Right there By the field and the thorn Gravel road gospel Till the break of dawn
