It S A Long Lonely Highway lyrics

(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
