[Kristofferson:]
How Many Girls Choose Cotton Dress Worlds,
When They Could Have Satins And Lace?
Stand By Her Man Through Good Times And Bad,
An' Still Keep A Smile On Her Face?
[Nelson:]
And How Many Hearts Could Face The Winters We've Known,
And Still Not Turn Cold.

[All 4:]
True Love Travels On A Gravel Road.
[Nelson:]
Love Is A Stranger And Hearts Are In Danger.
On Smooth Streets Paved With Gold.
[All 4:]
True Love Travels On A Gravel Road.

[Short Instrumental Break.]

[Cash:]
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.
[Jennings:]
Not Once Have I've Seen Your Blue Eyes Fill With Envy,
Or Stray From The Warmth That They Hold.

[All 4:]
True Love Travels On A Gravel Road.
[Jennings:]
Now Love Is A Stranger And Hearts Fill With Danger,
On Smooth Streets Paved With Gold.
[All 4:]
True Love Travels On A Gravel Road.
