How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man, never once letting shame 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
On smooth streets paved with gold
Oh 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 fill 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
On smooth streets paved with gold
Oh true love travels on a gravel road.

– Written by Dallas Frazier and Al Owens. Appears on the album Elvis in Memphis.
