Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory we shall walk

The trail is dusty, and my road it might be rough,
But the better roads are waiting, and boys it ain't far off
I walk down by the river, I turn my head up high
and I saw that silver lining that was hangin' in the sky

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory we shall walk

The evening dust was rolling, I was walking down the track,
The was a one way wind ablowin', it was blowing at my back
Thatevening train was rolling, the hummin' of its wheels,
My eyes they saw a better day as I looked across the fields

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory we shall walk

The trail is dusty, the road it might be rough,
But the good Lord is awaiting, and boys he ain't far off

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory we shall walk

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory we shall walk

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory we shall walk
