Long lonely highway

(words & music by pomus – shuman)
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 yes 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 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 I gotta rock for my pillow ‘neath a weeping willow And the 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 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 So 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
