It's a long lonely highway
It's a long lonely highway
When you're travellin' all alone
And it's a mean old world
When you got no-one to call your own
And you pass through towns
Too small to even have a name, oh yeah
But you gotta keep on goin',
On that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin',
Though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
It's a long lonely highway
Without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops
That keep on being cried
My heart's so heavy
It's a low down dirty shame oh yeah
You gotta keep on goin',
On that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin',
Though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow
'Neath a weeping willow
And a cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy
So don't you tell me buddy
That I wouldn't be better off dead .. yeah
It's a long lonely highway
Gettin' longer all the time
And if she don't come and get me
Well, I'm gonna lose my mind
If you read about me tell her
She's the one to blame, oh yes
You gotta keep on goin',
On that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin',
Though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Yeah !
