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?

And how many hearts could face the winters we've known,
And still not turn cold.

True love travels on a gravel road.

Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger.
On smooth streets paved with gold.
True love travels on a gravel road.

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.

Not once have i've seen your blue eyes fill with envy,
Or stray from the warmth that they hold.

True love travels on a gravel road.

Now love is a stranger and hearts fill with danger,
On smooth streets paved with gold.

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.
True love travels on a gravel road.
