Highway of Sorrow

Down the highway of sorrow

I'm traveling alone

I've lost all my true friends

And I lost a happy home.

I'm headed for destruction

I'm on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow

There's no turning back.

Once I had a darling wife

She was kind, true, and sweet

Out home, it was happy,

And life was so complete

But I fell for another

Who led my heart astray

Now I must live in sorrow till my dying day.

Down the highway of sorrow

I'm traveling alone

I've lost all my true friends

And I lost a happy home.

I'm headed for destruction

I'm on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow

There's no turning back.

I went back to my darling

And got down on my knees

The then I begged her through my tears

To give my poor heart ease

But she was hurt too deeply

That she could not forgive

My life will be a sorrow

For as long as I live.

Down the highway of sorrow

I'm traveling alone

I've lost all my true friends

And I lost a happy home.

I'm headed for destruction

I'm on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow

There's no turning back.
