The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the clearer road up yonder
With the cinders on the side

Refrain:
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk

I walked down to the valley
Turned my head up high
Seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky

Refrain

The mountain was a movin'
The hummin' of its wheels
Told me of the new day
it was coming across the fields

Refrain

The gravel road is bumpy
It's a hard old road to ride
But the good road is a-waitin'
And the boys it ain't far off

Refrain
