True Love Travels On A Gravel Road - The Afghan Whigs

How many girls

Would choose a cotton-dress world

When they could have satins and lace?

To stand by her man

Through good times and bad

And still keep a smile on her face?

How many hearts would feel the winter’s wind blow

And still not turn cold?

True love travels on a gravel road

Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger

On smooth streets paved with gold

But true love travels on a gravel road

Down through the years

We’ve had hard times and tears

But it only helps our love grow

And we’ll stay together

No matter how strong the wind blows

Not once have I seen your blue eyes fill with envy

And stray from the one that you hold

True love travels on a gravel road

Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger

On smooth streets paved with gold

But true love travels on a gravel road…
