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 ain't 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 it's 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 ain't far off

Trails of troubles roads of battles
Paths of victory we shall walk
