Paths Of Victory (from "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991" compilation)

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
I 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

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk

I walked down by the river
I turned my head up high
I saw that silver lining
That was hanging in the sky

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk

The evening dusk was rolling
I was walking down the track
There was a one-way wind a-blowing
And it was blowing at my back

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk

The gravel road is bumpy
It's a hard road to ride
But there's a clearer road a-waiting
With the cinders on the side

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk

That evening train was rolling
The humming 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 road is a-waiting
And boys it ain't far off

Trails of troubles
Roads of battles
Paths of victory
We shall walk
