Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory we shall walk The trail is dusty and my road it might be rough But the better roads are waiting and boys it ain't far off I walk down by the river, I turn my head up high And I saw that silver lining that was hanging in the sky Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory we shall walk The evening dust was rolling, I was walking down the track The was a one way wind a-blowing, it was blowing at my back That evening train was rolling, the humming of its wheels My eyes they saw a better day as I looked across the fields Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory we shall walk The trail is dusty, the road it might be rough But the good Lord is awaiting and boys He ain't far off Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory we shall walk Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory we shall walk Trails of troubles, roads of battles Paths of victory we shall walk
