how many girls
would choose a cotton-dress world
when they could have satins and lace?
to stand by her man
through good times and bad
and still keep a smile on her face?
how many hearts would feel the winter`s wind blow
and still not turn cold?
true love travels on a gravel road
love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
on smooth streets paved with gold
but true love travels on a gravel road
down through the years
we`ve had hard times and tears
but it only helps our love grow
and we`ll stay together
no matter how strong the wind blows
not once have i seen your blue eyes fill with envy
and stray from the one that you hold
true love travels on a gravel road
love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
on smooth streets paved with gold
but true love travels on a gravel road...
