The trail is dark and dusty

The road is kinda rough

But the good road is awaitin'

And boys, it ain't far off

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle

Paths of victory

We shall walk

I walked out to the valley

I turned my head up high

I've seen that silver linin'

That was hangin' in the sky

Trails of troubles

Roads of battles

Paths of victory

We shall walk

The wind dust was rollin'

As I was walking down the track

There was a one way wind blowin'

It was blowin' at my back

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle

Paths of victory

We shall walk

The gravel road is bumpy

It's a hard, old road to ride

But the clearer road's up yonder

With the cinders on the side

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle

Paths of victory

We shall walk

The morning train was movin'

The hummin' of its wheels

Told me of the new day

Comin' across the fields

Trails of troubles

Roads of battles

Paths of victory

We shall walk
