Trails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walk

The road 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
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walk

I walked down by the river
I turned my head up high
And I saw that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky

Trails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walk

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

The evening train was rollin'
The hummin' of its wheels
My eyes they saw a better day
As I looked across the fields

The trail is dusty
The road it might be rough
But the good lord is waitin'
And boys he ain't far off

Trails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walk
