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 mo-ovin' 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

But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no one to care

| | |

Just keep mo-ovin' down the line

I got a 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 mo-ovin' down the line

Movin’ down the line

Movin’ down the line
