No Easy Road (To Easy Street)

© 2003 Lyrics by Bobbie Gallup ASCAP

It was always right around the corner

Up around the bend

But as days and years flew past

I wondered where it all would end

Traveled on some backroads

Following my bliss

Hitchhiked on some interstates

But it's all come down to this

CHORUS:

There ain't no easy road

To easy street

Gotta rest my soul

Get off my feet

Gotta look inside myself

For what makes life complete

Cause there ain't no easy road

To easy street

Don't need no killing on the market

Or to be no millionaire

Long as I can face that mirror

And like what I see there

Don't need to keep up with the Joneses

Or win the lottery

As long as I can share the joy

That God has given me

CHORUS:

There ain't no easy road

To easy street

Gotta rest my soul

Get off my feet

Gotta look inside myself

For what makes life complete

Cause there ain't no easy road

To easy street

BRIDGE:

I've taken all the detours

Paid my share of dues

Had to spend time in the valleys

Walkin' off the blues

But the mountaintops were worth the time

An' the struggle that they took

To overcome each obstacle

To get a better look....cause

CHORUS:

There ain't no easy road

To easy street

Gotta rest my soul

Get off my feet

Gotta look inside myself

For what makes life complete

Cause there ain't no easy road

No there ain't no easy road...

To easy street
