How many girls choose cotton dress worlds

When they could have satins and lace

And stand by her man through good times and bad

And still keep a smile on her face

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

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

True love travels on a gravel road



Down through the years we've had hard time and tears

But it only makes our love grow

And we'll stay together

No matter how hard the wind blows

Not once have I seen your blue eyes filled envy

And stray from the warmth that they hold

True love travels on a gravel road



Now love is a stranger

And hearts are in danger

On smooth streets paved with gold

True love travels on a gravel road

True love travels on a gravel road

And it's gonna be rough sometimes

But I want to travel only along the road with you
