True love was travelling on a gravel road
I followed into darkness, defied the bitter cold
As the lights of my hometown faded into night
I lost all my hope then, to ever make it right
And I, I, I can't tell you what I saw
No, you've got to make it on your own
And I, I, I won't tell you what I know
No, you have to make it on your own

True love still travels along these dusty roads
For true love and friendship, I'll carry any load
I miss the lights of my hometown
'Cause I stayed away too long
For true love I travelled
For love, I wrote this song
And I, I, I can't tell you what I saw
No, you've got to make it on your own
And I, I, I won't tell you what I know
No, you have to make it on your own, on your own
