[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.
