Long Lonely Highway lyrics Lyrics

(it s A) Long Lonely Highway lyrics (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
