Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
I shall walk
The trail is dusty
And my road it might be rough
But the better roads are waiting
And boys it aint far off
Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
I walked down by the river
I turned my head up high
I saw that silver linin
That was hangin in the sky
Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
The evenin dusk was rollin
I was walking down the track
There was a one-way wind a-blowin
And it was blowin at my back
Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
The gravel road is bumpy
Its a hard road to ride
But theres a clearer road a-waitin
With the cinders on the side
Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
That evening train was rollin
The hummin of its wheels
My eyes they saw a better day
As I looked across the fields
Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
The trail is dusty
The road it might be rough
But the good road is a-waitin
And boys it aint far off
Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
