Lyrics
How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace?
And stand by her man
Never once letting shade 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
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road
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
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road
Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road
Writer(s): Dallas Frazier, Arthur Owens Sr.
