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
