An all my pride has gone, locked away on some shelf
When my instinct becomes, yeah, yeah, what was once the truth
Many moons that fade away
Well, now it?s all gone, blown away
Like the desert sand, oh, never meant to stay
Oh, there is nothing left, there is nothing here

Just a trail of tears, yeah
Trail of tears, yeah, yeah
A trail of tears, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Trail of tears, yeah

Open up my wounds and take a look inside
You could cover the whole land with the tears she?s got to hide
My memories cut deep, oh, yeah, with a silver knife
The legend opens up its arms and takes another life

Trail of tears, yeah
Trail of tears, yeah
Trail of tears, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Come on

Solo:

Well, now it?s all gone and I don?t know why
And all that remains is the pain, oh, is that last war cry

(Trail of tears), aaah
(Trail of tears)
(Trail of tears)
(Trail of tears)
(Trail of tears), yeah                      F
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The pain, the shame
It all comes back again
The pain
Oh, the trail of tears
(Trail of tears)
Bobby said that
Bobby said that
It?ll be alright

Down on Laguna Beach they used to bury their secrets deep
And Bobby always said "It?ll be alright"
So many lies
