Paths Of Victory

(album: What About Me - 1968)

Trails of troubles
Roads of battle,
Paths of victory
We shall walk

The road 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 battle,
Paths of victory
We shall walk.

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

Trails of troubles
Roads of battle,
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.

The evening train was rollin,
The humming of its wheels,
My eyes they saw a better day
As I looked across the fields.

The trail is dusty
The road it might be rough
But the good Lord is waiting
And boys He ain't far off.

Trails of troubles
Roads of battle,
Paths of victory
We shall walk.
