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 that didn't last

When the stars come out

And the tears they fall like rain

You gave me your love so true

But I cheated dear on you

I'm on this highway paved with pain

Once I had a darlin' wife

I treasured more than life

Well, then I ran around and broke her heart

Well, I started drinkin' and lost the way

Now my lonely heart burns with pain

I'm dreamin' of the past

Of our love that didn't last

When the stars come out

And the tears they fall like rain

You gave me your love so true

But I cheated dear 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 that didn't last

When the stars come out

And the tears they fall like rain

You gave me your love so true

But I cheated dear on you

I'm on this highway paved with pain

I'm on this highway paved with pain
