Too Much To Gain To Lose lyrics

Too many miles behind me too many trials are through
Too many tears help me to remember but there's too much to gain to lose
Too many sunsets lie behind the mountains
Too many rivers my feet have walked through
Too many treasures awaiting over yonder there's too much to gain to lose
[ steel ]
I've crossed the hot burning desert struggling the right road to choose
Somewhere up ahead there's cool cool clear water and defeat is one word I don't use
Too many sunsets...
