True love travels on a gravel road
-Percy Sledge-
How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace?
To stand by her man through good times and bad
Still keep a smile on her face
How many hearts could build winters we know
And still not turn cold?
Oh, true love travels on a gravel road
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
Oh, but true love travels on a gravel road
(True love travels on a gravel road)
Down through the years we've had hard times and tears
But it only helped our love grow
And we'll stay together no matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have I seen your blue eyes filled with envy
And stray from the one that you hold
Oh, true love travels on a gravel road
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
Oh, but true love travels on a gravel road
Oh, true love travels on a gravel road
It can get rough some times
(True love travels on a gravel road)
I want to travel with you, little girl
