The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the good road is awaitin'
And boys, it ain't far offTrails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walkI walked out to the valley
I turned my head up high
I've seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the skyTrails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walkThe wind dust was rollin'
As I was walking down the track
There was a one way wind blowin'
It was blowin' at my backTrails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walkThe gravel road is bumpy
It's a hard, old road to ride
But the clearer road's up yonder
With the cinders on the sideTrails of troubles
Roads of battle
Paths of victory
We shall walkThe morning train was movin'
The hummin' of its wheels
Told me of the new day
Comin' across the fieldsTrails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
