You Won T Realize Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wasn't there gonna be a rolling thunder
Wasn't there gonna be a vicious rain
Wasn't there gonna be women and children everywhere
Fleeing them planes when they came

[Verse 2]
Wasn't there gonna be a riot somewhere
Wasn't there gonna be a fiery fight
Wasn't I gonna be throwin' bottles through the air
Doing my part for what's right

[Chorus]
Well it's a hard road to ride
When you sit right back and realize
What you're not

[Verse 3]
Wasn't there gonna be a battle raging
Wasn't there gonna be a crack in the sides
Wasn't there gonna be cities of old men breaking down
Crying with no place to hide

[Verse 4]
Wasn't there gonna be a common calling
Wasn't there gonna be a light in the flood
Wasn't I gonna be digging up hidden treasure
'stead of burying change in the mud

[Chorus]
Well it's a hard road to ride
When you sit right back and realize
What you're not

[Verse 5]
In the middle of the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the middle of the night
Cast aside all my troublemaking notions
And sailed for the sedentary life

[Verse 6]
In the meadow where we struggled in the old days
Only evidence of cigarettes and beer
Don't look now, we'll sing about it always
The grass growing wild through the years

[Verse 7]
Well it's a hard road to ride
When you sit right back and realize
Yes It's a hard road to ride
When you sit right back and realize
Well it's a hard road to ride
When you sit right back and realize
