They lead paths of victory
The mountain was a movin'
With the cinders on the side
And your roads of battle
It's a hard old road to ride
The gravel road is bumpy
I walked down to the valley
Turned my head up high
But the good road is waitin'
It was coming across the fields
And the boys it ain't far off
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The hummin' of its wheels
Trails of troubles
Told me of the new day
We shall walk
They lead paths of victory
That was hangin' in the sky
And your roads of battle
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
Seen that silver linin'
But the clearer road up yonder
Trails of troubles
We shall walk
