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