That Ole Gravel Road Was Easy Street (original)

When I was eight years old
I tried to leave the farm
I flew a homemade plane
Out of the loft of the barn
If I could go back now
You couldn’t pay me to leave
'Cause that old gravel road was easy street
We were a four-dog family
With some dreams and a flat-bed truck
That ole school bus would rattle and shake
When it would pick us up
Those creek bank rocks
Were hard on our feet
But that ole gravel road was easy street
That ole gravel road was easy street
They used to say we were poor
But we were rich as we could be
We were down on our luck
But we were up to our necks in homemade love
That ole gravel road was easy street
I thought having it made
Was growing up
Movin' off to town, getting' married
And going to work
But those sidewalks
Ain’t all they’re cracked up to be
That ole gravel road was easy street

(traducción)

Cuando tenia ocho años
Traté de salir de la granja
volé un avión casero
Fuera del desván del granero
Si pudiera volver ahora
No podrías pagarme para irme
Porque ese viejo camino de grava era una calle fácil
Éramos una familia de cuatro perros
Con algunos sueños y un camión de plataforma
Ese viejo autobús escolar traquetearía y se sacudiría
Cuando nos recogería
Esas rocas del banco del arroyo
Fueron duros para nuestros pies
Pero ese viejo camino de grava era una calle fácil
Ese viejo camino de ripio era una calle fácil
Solían decir que éramos pobres
Pero éramos tan ricos como podíamos ser
Tuvimos mala suerte
Pero estábamos hasta el cuello de amor casero
Ese viejo camino de ripio era una calle fácil
Pensé en tenerlo hecho
estaba creciendo
Mudarse a la ciudad, casarse
Y yendo a trabajar
Pero esas aceras
No es todo lo que están locos por ser
Ese viejo camino de ripio era una calle fácil
