How many girls |
|
Choose cotton dress worlds |
|
When they could have satins and lace |
|
And stand by her man |
|
Through good times and bad |
|
And still keep a smile on her face |
|
And how many hearts |
|
Could face the winters we've known |
|
And still not turn gold |
|
(Chorus) |
|
True love travels on a gravel road |
|
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger |
|
On smooth streets |
|
Paved with gold |
|
(Repeat chorus) |
|
Down through the years |
|
We've had hard times and tears |
|
But it only makes our love grow |
|
And we'll stay together |
|
No matter how hard the wind blows |
|
Not once have I seen your |
|
Blue eyes fill with envy |
|
Or stray from the warmth |
|
That they hold |
|
(Repeat chorus) |
|
Now love is a stranger and hearts are in danger |
|
On smooth streets |
|
Paved with gold |
|
(Repeat chorus eight times) |
