Some roads are straight and narrow, some paths are high and steep Some ways are slow and heavy, Some tracks are dark and deep But the trail's the one I follow, no matter where it leads And I know I'll never wander... as long as I heed
No matter where or how far it goes; I'll walk it without fail Because I know {that} no matter what I'll lay my burdens down at the end... of the trail. My load is mine to carry, I packed it all myself I chose what to leave behind on that old dusty shelf And though the memories follow, I'll pay them not a care My troubles are all my own, my treasures I will share
No matter how sore my hooves, I know I will go on So though I may b' weary, I will keep move along Because no journey lasts forever, there's an end to this tale And I'll lay down my sorrows at the end... of the trail.
Though rocks may trip and slow me Though rain may lash my mane Though love may call out to me Though pain may cause me shame Though mud may bog my passage Though snow may chill me through Though dust and wind may blind me There's one thing I must do.
I look ahead and find myself at the journey's end And finally I see a both family and friend
For those that still walk along, please don't weep and wail For I have laid down my troubles at the end... of th' trail.
Yes those who still love me, please don't weep and wail I'll be waiting for you at the end... of the trail.
