Mort Shuman - (It's A) Long Lonely Highway lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a long lonely highway when you're travelling all alone And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own And you pa** through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes But you got to keep on going, on that road to nowhere Got to keep on going, though there's no-one to care Just keep moving down the line [Verse 2] 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 got to keep on going, on that road to nowhere Got to keep on going, though there's no-one to care Just keep moving down the line [bridge] I got to rock for my pillow beneath a weeping willow And the cool gra** for my bed [Verse 3] 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 getting longer all the time And if she don't come and get me Well, I'm going to lose my mind So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes You got to keep on going, on that road to nowhere Got to keep on going, though there's no-one to care Just keep moving down the line Moving down the line Moving down the line
