How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man
Never once letting shame touch her face

How many hearts
Could live through all the winters we've known
And still not be cold?
True love travels on a gravel road

Love is a stranger
And hearts are in danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
Oh, true love travels on a gravel road, oh

Down through the years
We've had hard times and tears
But they 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
Or 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, true love travels on a gravel road
Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road, oh yeah
