I've seen shadows, I've seen shine
I know what and what is not mine
I've seen glitter, I've seen gold
I heard everything that I've been toldAnd I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking a trail of tears
Trail of tearsTaking my stand, I think it's time
Tired of letting you play with my mind
Love's gone bitter that once was sweet
I think I'm gonna stand on my own two feetI said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tearsNobody who's in their right mind
Could fail to notice, unless they were blind
It's gone, true love has gone
Nobody wants to throw it away
Oh, darling, how could I stay when it's gone?
True love has goneI've seen shadows, and I've seen shine
I've seen how I've been wasting my time
Scared of you and scared of me
Scared of letting my future beI said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tearsI said, I
I said, I
Trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tearsI said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
