Highwaymen - True Love Travels A Gravel Road lyrics

rate me

[Kristofferson:]

How many girls choose cotton dress worlds,

When they could have satins and lace?

Stand by her man through good times and bad,

An' still keep a smile on her face?

[Nelson:]

And how many hearts could face the winters we've known,

And still not turn cold.

[All 4:]

True love travels on a gravel road.

[Nelson:]

Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger.

On smooth streets paved with gold.

[All 4:]

True love travels on a gravel road.

[Short instrumental break.]

[Cash:]

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.

[Jennings:]

Not once have I've seen your blue eyes fill with envy,

Or stray from the warmth that they hold.

[All 4:]

True love travels on a gravel road.

[Jennings:]

Now love is a stranger and hearts fill with danger,

On smooth streets paved with gold.

[All 4:]

True love travels on a gravel road.

[Alternate Cash & all 4:]

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.
