[Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger On smooth streets Paved with gold [Chorus] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] Now love is a stranger and hearts are in danger On smooth streets Paved with gold [Chorus][x8]
