(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
|
