(For Every Inch I've Laughed) I've Cried a Mile

The road of love is rocky It's lonely and it's blue When the one that you dream of Walks on ahead of you Well I laughed the night she left me Said she'd come back after a while But for every inch I laughed I cried a mile It's a mighty lonesome feeling When you go to bed at night And there's nothing but a pillow And a memory on your right Oh if man was born to suffer Well I guess I'm right in the style For every inch I've laughed I cried a mile I laughed and said a new love Would be easy to find And I was right there's so easy In all the wrong kind As I travelled down life's highway It hardly seems worthwhile For every inch I've laughed I cried a mile It's a mighty lonesome feeling When you go to bed at night And there's nothing but a pillow And a memory on your right Oh if man was born to suffer Well I guess I'm right in the style 'Cause every inch I've laughed I cried a mile Yes if man was born to suffer Well I guess I'm right in the style 'Cause every inch I've laughed I cried a mile
