True love was traveling on a gravel road
I followed into darkness,
Defied the bitter cold
As the light of my hometown faded into night
I lost all my hope then,
To ever make it right
And I can't tell you what I saw
No, you've got to make it on your own
And I won't tell you what I know
No, you have to make it on your own
True love still travels
Along these dusty roads
For true love and friendship,
I'll carry any load
I miss the lights of my hometown
'Cause I stayed away to long
For true love I traveled,
For love I wrote this song
And I can't tell you what I saw
No, you've got to make it on your own
And I won't tell you what I know
No, you have to make it on your own,
On your own
