Highway Paved With Pain

The most tragic thing in life Is a darlin' lovin' wife One who meets you every night When you come home When you're lovin' her at night Her arms hold you tight Don't you know what it means to be alone I'm dreamin' of a past Of our love didn't last When the stars come out And the tears that fall like rain You gave me your love so true But I cheated here on you I'm on this highway paved with pain Once I had a darlin' wife I treasured more than life Well, then I went around and broke her heart Well, I started drinkin' Lost my way Now my lonely heart burns with pain I'm dreamin' of the past Of our love didn't last When the stars come out And the tears that fall like rain You gave me your love so true But I cheated here on you I'm on this highway paved with pain The most tragic thing in life Is a darlin' lovin' wife One who meets you every night When you come home When you're lovin' her at night Her arms hold you tight Don't you know what it means to be alone I'm dreamin' of the past Of our love didn't last When the stars come out And the tears that fall like rain You gave me your love so true But I cheated here on you I'm on this highway paved with pain I'm on this highway paved with pain, lord lord
