I've seen shadows, I've seen shine
I know what and what is not mine
I've seen glitter, I've seen gold
I heard everything that I've been told
And I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking a trail of tears
Trail of tears
Taking my stand, I think it's time
Tired of letting you play my mind
Love's gone bitter that once was sweet
I think I'm gonna stand on my own two feet
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
Nobody who's in their right mind
Could fail to notice, unless they were blind
It's gone, true love has gone
Nobody wants to throw it away
Oh, darling, how could I stay when it's gone?
True love has gone
I've seen shadows, and I've seen shine
I've seen how I've been wasting my time
Scared of you and scared of me
Scared of letting my future be
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I
I said, I
Trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
I said, I don't want to spend my lifetime
Walking down a trail of tears
