Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory, we shall walk Road is dusty, road is mighty rough Better roads is waiting, day's not 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 Well, I saw Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory, we shall walk The gravel road is bumpy, well, it's a hard road to ride But there's a clearer road a-waitin' With the cinders on the other side Oh, we got Trails of troubles, and we got roads of battles Paths of victory, we shall walk Evenin' train was a-rollin' Hummin' of its wheels My eyes saw a better day As I looked across the field Well, I saw Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory, we shall walk The trail is dusty, the road is mighty rough The good road a-waitin' Oh, the day's not far off Oh, we got Trails, trail of troubles And we got roads, roads of battles Paths of victory, we shall walk!
