True Love Travels on a Gravel Road (woman, relations, years)

[Fat Freddy]

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...

Percy Sledge 1969

Come on now, Big Fred, there must be more behind this thread than just this song! I always take particular delight in reading your words of wisdom, so lets hear from you!!

Sometimes, Dennis, what you see is all there is.

"Relationships" is what Percy Sledge sings about, and this particular song is one of my favorites.

I posted it here as a poem because it is relevant to several on-going discussions, and I just wanted to share it.

Some of Percy Sledge's other songs that would fit right in on this forum are:

When A Man Loves A Woman
Take Time To Know Her
It Tears Me Up
Dark End Of The Street
