“True Love Travels A Gravel Road”
How many girls
Choose cotton-dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace?
Stand by her man
Through good times and bad
And still keep a smile on her face?
[Willie:]
And how many hearts
Could face the winters we’ve known
And still not turn cold?
[All:]
True love travels on a gravel road
[Willie:]
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
On smooth streets
Paved with gold
[All:]
True love travels on a gravel road
[Johnny:]
Down through the years
We’ve had hard times and tears
But it only makes our love grow
And we’ll stay together
No matter how hard the wind blows
[Waylon:]
Not once have I seen your
Blue eyes fill with envy
Or stray from the warmth
That they hold
[All:]
True love travels on a gravel road
[Willie:]
Now love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
[All:]
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
