Highway of Sorrow

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back

I once had a darling wife, kind, true and sweet

Life seemed so bright and gay, everything complete

I fell for another who's led my life astray

So I'll live in sorrow 'til my dying day

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back

I went back to my darling, I got down on my knees

I begged her with tear-filled eyes to give my poor heart ease

But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive

So I'll live in sorrow as I long as I live

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back
