Lyrics for Paths Of Victory

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. 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 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 The gravel road is bumpy It's a hard road to ride But there's a clearer road a-waitin' With the cinders on the side Trails of troubles That evening train was rollin' The hummin' of its wheels My eyes they saw a better day As I looked across the fields Trails of troubles. 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
